Honestly, unless your doing some crazy overclocks or using an intel CPU, water coolers are just overkill and aestethic. But I still I would have gone with the Peerless Assassin.
I would go with the phantom spirit where I live, in the UK the phantom spirit se120 is cheaper then the peerless assassin and it cools better and it’s a bit quieter
The notion that air coolers are bad with handling massive heat demands, is largely unfounded. While they generally lag a tad bit behind compared to their water-cooled counterparts, air coolers boast the most efficient dollar to cooling ratio of all the cooling solutions, with a reliability score that's orders of magnitude more than the most reliable water-cooler. One can't say that air coolers are bad at cooling, when the difference between the best air cooler & best water cooler yields a marginal performance delta that's often not justifiable with a big price tag. 99.9% of use cases will be perfectly fine with an air cooler. While I love the aesthetic of water cooling (trust me, I'm a sucker for custom water-cooling), it's really only meant for enthusiasts who want a little more out of the whole PC building experience, or chasing scores on a benchmark leaderboard.
Air coolers are the best in 99% of cases. AIO's are absolutely garbage. The pump is trying to pump boiling fluid off the CPU... that doesn't work well st all, its mostly passive circulation thats cooling in an AIO
@@kilbornagon have yet to see one that beats the ndh14 and the ndh14 is cheaper by far. New cases without much head room is why you see so many more reviews and tests of aio's manufacturers have pushed people towards them. My custom loop beats my ndh14 but not by much and pretty well just because of how having a rad can allow you to move a heat saturation point.
@@frogger2011ifyidk man I’ve got a 7700x running at 5.5ghz, That ideals at 45 - 49C and doesn’t go above 78-79C under load, EDIT forgot to mention my Cooler it’s a 360 MM Kraken elite
@frogger2011ify using aio since i built my pc in 2020 on a manually oced 5900x 4.7 ghz. Not a single issue, temps in games are around 60, demanding ones at most 70. Cinenench run 83 degrees max. No clue what you are talking about
It's "Wait one month until it releases" then "wait one month till drivers are optimized" then "one more month cuz there's compatibility issues with many mobos and RAM speeds" and etc. So no. If this was enough for him and he wanted the pc for gaming, he shouldn't have waited for a 9000 series. Either way, the bottleneck is the GPU for a long way to go.
The 9000 series won’t be better than actual X3D series until the 9000 X3D (for gaming, but I assume this spec is for gaming). So you could for minimum 6 months more…
I prefer an air cooler as well. But im still in the dinosaur age with current set up. I am ready to upgrade everything but have no idea what to do or where to start as my current set up was built in 2011.

Naw aios achieve much better temps, there’s tons of videos out there that have tested it

I love your content
I had an nhu14s on my 5800x3d and it did just fine.
I have the same cpu, it doesn’t run very hot

Put another fan on the air cooler and make it a push/pull, BIG difference.
Nothing is overkill when it comes to CPU and GPU cooling. Truth!
I use a peerless assassin and its brilliant
If the case has good arflow then i’m sure a air cooler would suffice if he’s mostly just playing games, and that also looks like a full tower atx.
NH-U12a chromax would have looked nice in this build. I have it paired with my 5800x3d and the temps aren’t bad
Aio are awesome nowadays, maybe ten years ago I would have made this choice but not now.
Maybe a bit stronger air cooler but that just me
The air cooler is fine, but I would just go with a black color
Add 2nd cooler fan, push pull, you're welcome

What are your specs?

Same
Any suggestions for air cooling for the upcoming 9950x?
When you guys gonna restock on the asrock z790 livemixer. Looking forward to buying a pic from you guys and wanting that motherboard on it
Air cooler specifically only noctua.
is that a h9 elite?
What system
I have an ryzen 5 7600x and a be quiet! dark rock pro 5 a little overkill xD
Air cooling for life even tho he could have gotten a better air cooler
who decides to make a blacked out pc and randomly add noctua fans
Pure performance:
this isnt an IC engine, so it should be fine.
Lol Use the Stock cooler
What better than a noctua cooler
do you think a $67 aio is good for a ryzen 7 5800x3d?
Just get an air cooler from Noctua etc.. It’s more reliable.
I will build pc with i5 12600kf and cooler cost 35$ but can cool to 265w
Why 811 likes😢 why not 911 likes
Atleast use chromax version
Naw, brown and beige all day, at least use noctua for the rest of the game
Air cooling is pointless if you're not overclocking a good air cooler is enough
Huh? Mean water cooling?
