Question.

currently looking to upgrade to an i7 8700K but im paranoid about liquid cooling due to leakage etc.

Air cooler recommendations?

i wish noctua didnt look so ugly lol

 

[Nick Tan]

I dont find Noctua ugly at all. The problem with their unique colour is that no case can accomodate a brown colouring... looks off but not odd in anyway. im actually planning to get their new DH cooler to try.

 

[Bradley Matthews]

do you really need it if not overclocking?

 

[Nathan Johnston]

So all in one out of the question too?

 

[Sebastian Lyse Vilhelmsen]

The cryorig h5 mentioned above. This is how it looked in my frankenstein pc. Lol. Matx and a giant cooler.

 

[Pearse Copeland]

dayum, good thing im using a full tower case haha

 

[Brandon Hicks]

Hyper evo still. But your the first I know that scared of leaks. Just buy a pre sealed then, done.

If you have the space, just grab an NH-D15. The big air coolers outperform 280mm and smaller AIOs anyways.

Cryorig R1 Ultimate
Be Quiet Dark Rock Pro 3

 

[Æriäs Ruin]

Cryorig R1 universal or ultimate.
Keeps my 8700k 5 GHz cool and stable.

Noctua NHD15 is king among all others, and performs better than most AIO water coolers.

 

[Cole Zed]

Noctua NHD15

OKAY ITS SETTLED.

Noctua NHD15 is the clear winner.

Really appreciate guys, Thank You

Don’t be paranoid of water cooling. Just get good quality fittings and lines and leak test and you’ll be okay! I did my first watercool build and I was super paranoid but that went away.

 

[Drew Abenes]

Noctua all the way

 

[Chris Stephens]

You can just get a prebuilt cooler, which will not leak as it's heavily sealed. You do not need a reservoir if you only plan to only cool a CPU....
