When will the air cooler meme die? The best Noctua coolers which can't even compete with an AIO does not only comparably underperform, but also is huge and bulky which limits space in your case.

>implying aio coolers aren't actually using air to cool the chip
hohoho good maymay OP
>>55527850
>which can't even compete with an AIO
That's bullshit. They outperform most AIO liquid coolers on chips with TDPs below 100 watts. Is it stupid hour on /g/?
>>55527850
when the gobal ecomony catches up the the US where is is currently in terms of extchange rates
also AIO don't last as long and are expenise as fuck they also leak from time to time.
air coolers can last for a ever long time and will out live any AIO
how ever cooling even now is still not mature and still only 25~27 years old
never had any 80's machine ever need cooling
Let that sink in.
cooling needs to be on the cpu at some point as nodes get smaller and smaller
>>55527850
Not building your own desk case combo to accomidate anything you want.
Stay pleb op
>>55527850
Wut
I live in a cold country, liquid cooling is literaply pointless when my load temps never go above 45 degrees
>>55530604
Do you not have indoor temperature control?
>>55531635
That would most likely only to be heating the room.
Air-cooling works very well in a 20*C room.
>>55532150
What I'm saying is that a person's room is probably going to be approximately the same temperature regardless of the climate outside.

Have fun with your loud ass pump that is guaranteed to break
>>55527871
This. The water is literally just to transfer heat to the heatsink. Why not just get rid of a pump that can fail, makes noise and can leak water on your components and instead just mount the heatsink right on top of the CPU instead?
>>55527850
fucking bitch nigger
>>55527850
I get 30 C idle and 50 C load with my nhd15 on a 4790k. That's pretty good for 80 USD.
>>55532403
succ
>>55527850
Finally someone with sense. A good 240mm AIO out performs even a Noctua D15 once you get up past ~1.4v
>>55532330
>giving a shit about noise
i literally leave a fan on 24/7 for white noise and always have
i thought this was a common thing too until I saw just how many people are fucking autistic about their fans being silent
>>55532330
Why do people think the pumps are loud? even running no fan I have never heard a pump on any AiO. It's the air going through the rad that's loud and it's the same thing with an air cooler heatsink.
>>55532330

A passive-cooling AIO? Cool
>>55527850
Because they perform well enough, are dead easy to install regardless of your case choice (some cases are shit for water coolers), and will absolutely never ever bust a leak and shit all over $1.5k+ worth of computer hardware. They're also pretty "set it and forget it" since paste doesn't start degrading appreciably for 2 years and every case worth buying comes with dust filters (and dust isn't even a problem anyway if you're not an idiot and have a positive pressure setup).
>>55532473
Two or three large low-RPM fans make nearly no noise at all, move shitloads of air, and normally won't break for years if ever.
Now if you're buying $2 chinkfans or fucking delta blowers, yeah, you'll have problems with things breaking or noise but even mid-grade fan setups save you from this and won't cost as much as a water cooling setup.

>meme
>>55532499
are there passive cooling solutions made of silver, or gold?
i've seen some made of copper
The words "shill" and "meme" have lost all meaning on 4chan
>>55532594
They're mostly cheap aluminum shit. Which is good for the poorfags with flimsy motherboards.
>>55527850
Not everyone can mount a radiator, air cooling can be a lot quieter and water-cooling has way more points of failure.
>>55532609
Yep. Fucking kids are everywhere these days.
>>55527850
>When will the air cooler meme die?
When CLC solutions become cheaper.
Right now the top end noctua is about on par with 240m AIO/CLC stuff.
The only caveat here is the noctua beats them out on noise, but otherwise temps are within a few degrees of each other here.
And then we have the pricing, the *best* air cooler costs about $100, which is right up in the same range as AIO coolers that it competes with.
>i dont even know what affect a push/pull setup on the rad would have when comparing it to a noctua
I honestly don't care, its your build, do what you want.
>>55527850
NH-U12S cpu cooler with shitty insignia tim. Been running CPUZ stress test while doing other shit for ~15minutes.
The meme is real, OP
>>55532427
>>55532403
that is hands down the ugliest poorly thought out garbage build. You could have put it in a salvaged case or something but noooooo
>>55527850
lolno, it's the opposite. those water cooling kits get outperformed by air coolers that cost half as much
>>55527850
Reminder that if you are buying cheap or budget aftermarket coolers when your Intel stock cooler is still going strong, you are an idiot
>>55533789
cases are for faggots
oh and by the way, this son of a bitch would shove your computer into the locker and take its lunch money.
I like the look of the noctua nh-d14 and I only ever have to turn the fans to 20% speed which isn't audible, at least at the distance my case is from my ears.
Now that I have migrated from ssd + hdds to entirely ssds my computer is completely silent unless the gpu is under heavy load. My friends bring over their water cooled pcs and they are much louder.
How well something cools is limited by how big the radiator is, and how quickly the heat gets transferred from the core to the radiator.
Water cooling with radiators smaller than an typical air cooler is going to be worse.
The advantage of water cooling is you can move the heat around really effectively so you can have a massive radiator, so if you water cool on a small radiator you're adding a pump and tubes (additional points of failure) for no reason
i also hate that i can't use the space above my motherboard, i wan't to store all kinds of stuff there but my air cooler is in the way
fucktard
>>55527850
>can't even compete with an AIO
>comparably underperform
>huge and bulky
It barely takes any more space than an aio block, some tubes, tubes and a 240mm rad w/ 2 fans
It doesn't comparably underperform, either.
t. someone who's actually used both
