What's your guy's favorite method for keeping your cpu from frying?
I would use an AIO
But I managed to get this for free

Not overclocking my shit, which dramatically decreases it's lifespan.

I have a couple CNPS5X's in a dual-CPU box, Hyper T4 on my i5, and drop 212's on boxes I build for people.

just a bit jelly, but that poop fan tho.

All the heatsink's you've mentioned are alright but all cheapo tier.
and Noctua fans are great, only a 14 year old with a side window would even mention a fans colour

Get raped and kill yourself, you retarded fucking faggot sack of shit with down syndrome.
>>54572109
Noice you got it for free?
Ive had a old noctura S14 since 2009
Great cooler
apathy + stock coolers
I have a bipartisan solution

Just delid and then you can use pretty much anything without getting too hot.

what monstrosity am i looking at here
>>54572109
AIOs are loud and shitty, especially if you have a shit case.
Meanwhile my NH-U14S which cost half the price is keeping my overclocked 2600K particularly frosty while remaining almost inaudible.

I have never killed or damaged a cpu from overclocking. My opteron 175 (2.2ghz 1.3v) from 2006 still runs flawless on 3.2ghz at 1.5v.
I have never had a mobo die on me either, never had to replace caps.
But I never use shit quality psu's, and I always keep cpu, vrm, chipset and everything that gets high currents cool.

we have to go deeper
u forget connect
>>54572915
Your main board, PSU, or cpufan probably ded first. Sorry CPU rarely break/died.
Drown it
>>54572915
Don't be a fucking retard and only overclock to the extent that your cooling and power supply can reasonably handle
This is also close to a non issue with modern CPUs anyway
