So many. I got more than 5 rigs. Cooling system varies from air to liquid, from stock to high-end.

high end air?

That would be my Noctua NH-D15 and Cryorig Universal I suppose. Oh and Deepcool Gamer Storm Lucifer II.

Can't remember what else I have. *Yes, it's that many until I lose track*

gg which 1 is the coolest quietest and most energy saving?

Air cooler runs on fan and fan consumes very little.

If you want silent and energy saving, get big ones and run fanless in good airflow casing.

so it's still either the casing or the cpu cooler heat sink...

whats the power consuption of Noctua NH-D15?

I where got measure air cooling power consumption wan?

Refer to http://noctua.at/en/products/cpu-cooler-re...5/specification

Each fan draws under 2W.

Seriously, you're really doing it wrong when you worry about power draw of cooling systems. Fan and pump draw very little power.

i see thought use quite abit

thank you

at first was planning to go for AIO water cooling but after reading some of the posts here in this forum, looks like air cooling is better and in fact the performance should be comparable also...

yeah scare of leak also for me

The leak is probably from pump over-work, probably from very thick dust build up on the radiator and the pump will constantly work to move the heated liquid to be cooled, when it's not cooled enough and send back to the pump, this will stress the pump and cause it to leak.

A once a month dust maintenance will do a great job of ensuring AIO coolers life.

May I know what you do for dust maintenance? Just vacuum it?

I used so many AIO and I had only one leak so far.

My main work rig is on Corsair H55i for ages, no issue. My other rigs are mixed of many brands.

I should start a [WTS] soon. I got too many coolers lying around.

selling noctua nh-d15?
lol

i guess air cooling have less stuff to worry about?

Hi,

If your interested in my Prolimatech CPU Cooler, also one of the best CPU Coolers other than Noctua.

If talking about overall "hazard" - yup!

That's why I like air-cooling, it's just that when you look at what I have in my inventory, the high-end air cooling are huge.

I use AIO for the convenience.

I would just remove the fans ( push ) and then use brush to brush them.

your idea of wc is AIO.

"proper" watercooling are typically customs which easily cost over 2-3k and beyond

that's why got leak test ma
very long time ago my first high end rig, i also scare of leak that's why went with air cool.

now i'm on watercooling and the performance/noise is just awesome haha.
and listening close (like, putting your face/ears to the reservoir/pump close since its so quiet lol) for the very slight water flowing sound is quite appealing since i've never experienced that haha.
