A simple downdraft air cooler does just fine for my intel CPU that doesn't overclock. We're at a time where processors are good enough for most people to not need OC.
That's inaccurate. It ENTIRELY depends on what kind of CPU you have. If you have a basic to midrange CPU, you're right, basically any decent modern air cooler will do. But high-end CPUs - especially Intel CPUs - are a whole other story. Processors haven't gotten "cooler", it's quite the opposite. a 14900K (as an extreme example) requires 250-320W that's FAR above what processors used to consume. And more power = more heat, that's a very universal rule, though obviously the architecture of the CPU plays a huge part too, and so does what you actually use the PC for. Try cooling a 14900K with a cheap air cooler, and you'll quickly see how your theory falls apart, very quickly. It produces an ENORMOUS amount of heat, without efficient cooling you'll get throttling fast, and potentially even overheating. That said, you don't NEED liquid cooling, even for that particular CPU. A good, high-end air cooler will do just fine, because aircoolers have gotten a lot better recently too. But the price of those is very similar to the price of liquid AIO systems, so there isn't much reason to not get one anyways.
@@easymoney480 a very fringe case with AiOs. I deal with thousands of PCs for work and haven't seen a single case of an AiO leaking so far. They're just put together in such a way that that's extremely unlikely. Very different from full system liquid cooling, which someone has to manually assemble (and disassemble for maintenance), so any poorly fitted tube is a potential leaking hazard. And even there, you'll generally see that when the PC was just put together and a mistake was made, not randomly, months down the line. There is a more real downside to AiO coolers - your pump might fail at some point in the future. When that happens, it won't be able to pump water through the system, and your CPU will just overheat within minutes of booting your PC and shut down. But that's more of an inconvenience than a danger, you'd just have to replace it if that happens, and the failure rates are low, I think it's somewhere around 1% in 5 years. A lot of components can malfunction in that amount of times when it comes to PCs. But it's a downside that air coolers don't have, so worth keeping in mind.
Long story short: for low-mid tier gaming computers, most air coolers nowadays do the trick. For anything high tier, liquid cooling is by far superior.
That's not true at all. I have an Amd 7950x3d with an air cooler on it. Well...cou temperatures are on the same level or even better than those who use a liquid cooler on it.
Also when it come to maintenance your air cooler all it needs is a blow out dust while water u have to drain and clean out the water block from all the gunk build up and to replace the water with distilled or deionized water and add iodine to it so algae dont grow in it if your pump dont fail first in your aio, in custom waterkooling you can replace the pump but a more hassle free is air cooling.@macblink
@@Krome0somes maybe that's for custom water cooling, liquid AIO coolers like mine don't need liquid change or refill, just blow out the dust from the radiator, just like air cooling
CPUs and GPUs are so powerful now that they don't even blink when you watch a movie or youtube; or when you do email and office work. It's all just idling for them. So air coolers are better here because they don't spin up any longer and the whole pc is inaudible. With liquid cooling you always have the pump noise. Liquid cooling might still make a difference though when you squeeze every last Hz Hz Hz out of your hardware. Personally, I don't need that. A beefy air cooler prevents my CPU from throttling under load -- good enough for me.
I've tended to use air coolers for my mid range builds, my last 2 builds used i5 unlocked CPU's (9600k & 13600k) the 13600k overclocks really well, I have a couple of OC profiles, an all P cores 5.5GHz for gaming and a 2 P cores 6GHz and 4 P cores 5.8GHz for more demanding tasks. I opted for Arctic's Liquid Freezer ii 280mm AIO, it really is an excellent cooling solution for very little cash, it was cheaper than my NH-D15 Chromax, runs cooler and quieter. The mk iii is even better and has more lighting options if that's your thing. The 360mm & 420mm versions also perform well above average for their respective sizes if your CPU draws more power than the 13600k (I've seen a maximum of 227 Watts drawn by my 13600k) Another benefit of the AIO over a large twin tower cooler in a mid tower case is mobo temps, mine are significantly lower perhaps due to better airflow across the mobo which can be blocked by the bulk of an air cooler in medium sized cases.
I run a deepcool AK620 on my MSI PRO Z790 with a i7 13700K. With a small undervolt I get temps of 89c and a score of 29800 on Cinebench R23. With out the undervolt it would peg 100c on some of the cores almost immediately. While gaming (TLOU and RD2) as examples. On a 32-inch 3440X1440p monitor all settings to ultra without DLSS on. I get temps in the 65c to 72c range. I am not an expert, but IMO that is pretty decent temps for an air-cooled machine. I just can't wrap my mind around having water hanging over my 4070ti OC TUF.
U need liquid cooling for extremely powerful CPUs otherwise just an air cooler and you will also have some headroom for overclocking you don't need a aio cooler for overclocking a budget cpus like ryzen 5 5600
I have an i7 13th Gen cpu.i don't overclock it and only do 2k gaming (atm). I'm using a deepcool aio atm, but wat wondering if an deepcool air cooling unit would be worth it? I'm also trying to go with a clean look with my PC.
@@JediKnight_Revan619 if so then you may have DEEPCOOL Castle 360 V2 which has RGB and is definitely worth it according to your usage. There's another option as well Castle 360EX you can research about it as well.
I have a 13900kf CPU Core i9, and i’m still using the stock liquid cooler that has came with my PC because it’s still under warranty till sometime in July, then after that I might keep with it as long as I can or until it brakes. Then try to save up to put all my components into a new PC case and then get a better liquid cooler for my CPU.
I have always preferred air cooling as air cooling is tried and true and no fancy gimmicks. Liquid cooling there is always the possibility of a rupture in a cooling line, a malfunction in a pump, or the coolant evaporating over time..... However, liquid cooling is the way to go if a computer enthusiast's main target is aesthetics and eye candy....! I have a FX8350 system with Wraith Prism Cooler and I'm pretty happy with the overall combination of parts. The Wraith Prism cooler does allow for some overclocking if I have the urge to OC and is made from more durable stamped steel than the CM Hyper 212 (which is mostly aluminum and much less durable).
I use a aio cooler cause i dont like bulky air cooler, been using it for 9 years now corsair h80i but in my new build I try the ak 400 digital pro air cooler its looks simple and not bulky
The radiator is mounted incorrectly in this video. It should be vertically flipped with the tubes at the bottom instead of the top. This is so the air gap (that always sits at the highest point due to gravity) is not in the area where water circulates in the tubing. That causes bothersome noise, and decreases the lifespan and efficiency of the cooler.
The top of the pump needs to be lower than the radiator to prevent air bubbles from entering the pump. By doing this, any air bubbles will be restricted inside the radiator.
I don't trust liquid coolers. To many parts to possibly fail. I like steady and old reliable. Air cooled for me all the way. Deep Cool AK620 is keeping my i7 13700K at a respectable temperature. I don't have to worry about cooling. Apparently, I have to worry about oxidation. Damn Intel. 😄
My pc kep lagging one time, apparently the CPU was overheating... Stays at 90 idle, I guess the pump failed or something , switched to air cooler, probably won't go back
I have watched many videos on applying thermal paste. It seems everybody has their own preferred method. Me personally I like the dot in the middle then spread with a spatula. That way I know and don't have to wonder if the whole CPU is covered. That method hasn't failed me yet. 🤞

Lol
@rh.m6660 if not applied correctly it creates air bumbles and it makes the thermal paste less efficient
Here's a tip: If you are overwhelmed by liquid coolers, just stick to the trusted air cooling. It's no-nonsense and you won't really miss much.
If you really want to push your rig and CPU in particular, then you will see lower temps using a high-quality liquid cooling system.
For performance nothing can absorb calor as great as water. But for preventing shorts and far easier maintenance the best of course air cooler
For my new build to cool my AMD 7800x3d, I chose a Vetro V240 AIO. I like the rgb and newegg had a special for around 60.00
