which cooler (liquid or air) do you recommend for a i7 7700k ?

 

[Michael Gridnev]

280mm
does not really matter which brand cuz u put noctua Fans

 

[Derek Wagenfuehr]

Liquid is more for overclocking, if you dont plan to do that just buy a decent cooler.

 

[Derek Wagenfuehr]

unless you dont do a "custom" loop people just buy them to say hey! I have liquid cooling, if you plan to go further like gpu ect ect then a custom loop is required.

NZXT kraken x62 for best. Deepcool captain 240ex is also good, but not as good as NZXT but cheaper

 

[Jakub Górski]

air: Mugen 5 rev. B

 

[Will Anthony Pellicci]

Iceland.

 

[Pasquizle Campanelli]

Noctua nh-d15

 

[Eddie Baptie]

If you delid most things will work. If you don't and you want 5Ghz you'll need something substantial.

 

[Anthony McCauley]

NH-D15 or a custom loop. You gain nothing outside of aesthetics going for an AIO.

Air coolers have a quicker drop off in load temperatures and are quieter while offering the same if not better performance as an AIO.

 

[Hans Becker]

Air unless ur doing extreme overclocking.

 

[Pete Hernandez]

Also - even if you don’t overclock you want watercooling. Lower temps mean longer lifespan.

 

[Ian Michael Kappes Alcaino]

Yeah i want to overclock but just a little bit

 

[Kelly Vick]

liquid even to overclock a little bit.
