| 1412192 | 2015-12-01 06:35:00 | Hey people, I'm building a computer with... Cooler Master elite 110 case, Gigabyte ITX motherboard AMD: A8 CPU Ripjaws 8gb ram X2. The case can take a 120mm rad or a low-profile cooler, just don't know what way to go. see that this will fit with the RAM I have Noctua NH-L12 with just the lower fan on' I have 76mm to work and the RAM to fit in. I'm in NZ and the both options are around the same cost, would like it to be quite too. So what I'm asking is water or the Noctua? and if water what one? All i can fit is a 120mm rad too. |

| 1412194 | 2015-12-01 19:55:00 | Planning on overclocking or stressing out the CPU with high workloads? if not It probably doesn't matter which you choose. This might be of some use www.tomshardware.com |

| 1412195 | 2015-12-04 05:20:00 | I'd suggest going with water. I have the same case and a 3.1ghz g3240 pentium. having less fans is always a bonus. its much quieter than the other two computers I have on my shelf . 120mm radiator and 1 or 2 decent fans will be sufficient even with overclocking. the main advantage of watercooling is pairing the radiator with an exhaust fan to expedite the venting of hot hair. i also went with a sub-$100 watercooler. |
