Should I get a aftermarket cooler? (read description)

Solution


How hot does your GPU and CPU get?
 


I haven't actually bought it yet.
 


Well, even if your PC doesn't get too hot I'd still say that an aftermarket cooler is worth it either way. Aftermarket coolers are normally quieter than the stock cooler and do a better job of cooling the processor. Also, 7 fans is probably overkill. You'd probably be fine with the fan setup that comes with the case. For the aftermarket cooler I'd recommend the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo.
 


Yeah okay.
What about 7 fans and no aftermarket cooler?
 


To be honest, more case fans will probably have less of an effect on your temps and make more noise than simply getting an aftermarket cooler. In addition, it will probably be more expensive. There are plenty of good aftermarket coolers for relatively cheap. Take a look: https://au.pcpartpicker.com/parts/cpu-cooler/#sort=a6&page=1
Just keep in mind that not everything on here is good so you should do some research before going ahead and buying it.
