Suggest a good liquid cooler
H45 and H60 are nearly identical products with minimal distinction. The main variation lies in fan speed, and the H45 offers better airflow. However, I don't suggest either option or any 120mm liquid cooler for overclocking, as both tend to underperform compared to a quality air cooler at similar prices. Just using a liquid cooler doesn't guarantee good performance. This is the main misunderstanding behind those buying advice threads.

If your budget is under $100 US, I suggest choosing a solid air cooler or a 240 AIO if available.
Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML240R might be a good option. As I mentioned before, most AIO liquid coolers look quite alike, mainly in their construction. The main variations lie in the fans and the software for PWM and lighting control. Thanks for the useful information!
