Should I use air cooling or all-in-one water cooling?

Hi, recently I got into overclodcking my intel Pentium G3258 from 3.2GHz to 4.0Ghz with the stock cooler but I want to push it further. I wanted to know if i should get a air cooler like the Hyper 212 Evo which is £25 or a All in one rad cooler, Corsair H80I GT which is £75. All in all is it worth paying an extra £50 or should i just go with the cheaper option.

-Thanks

That really depends on how hard you're going to push your chip. Typically, AIO coolers are recommended for heavier overclocking if you can't setup a custom water loop. Although, some air coolers are pretty good as well.

Thankyou for this i think im going to go for a air cooling unit due to my price limits, thanks
