Question AIO or Air cooler for thermaltake v1 SFF build?

[Joe_182]

Hello,

I am building my first SFF build. With a thermaltake V1 case. So not too small.

I am using an I3-9100 so a low power CPU.

Should i go with air cooled or an AIO in this case? Never used an AIO before.

I grabbed a Scythe BS3 for now, since not many coolers fit in this case because of the height restriction. Noctuas do but they are hideous.

Thanks so much

For that CPU, an AIO isn't necessary. The Scythe should be more than enough.

Thanks, yeah that is what i had figured. I bet even the stock cooler would have worked lol

I think i am just trying to find an excuse to use an AIO.
