Watercooler for i7 4690k

[Bruno Henrique]

Hello everybody! How are y'all?

I will buy an i7 4690k and I'm in doubt which wc to choose. Corsair h55 or h60 withstands that CPU?

My cabinet is a Corsair Carbide Spec-02.

Those water cooler cost more and work worse than a good air cooler
And they are noisier too

Yeah, many articles out there... Hyper 212 EVO is half the price, is quieter and probably even cooler then those two.

Yes, I know the benefits between air/water. But I think the wc is better than air. The cleanness about the air, the eficiency and the price. A good air cooler cost the same as a good wc. For example, hyper 212x and h55 or Seidon 120.

A Noctua DH-15 is much more practical and easier to maintain than a water cooler.

Guys, I'm from Brazil. We don't have a lot of good air/wc coolers here. Including Noctua DH-15 🙁

Not counting the price of this things...

The h55 and h60 are a bit overpriced, air coolers for half the price perform better and are more silent. But if you really want one of them I would get the h60 and maybe replace the included fan with one not so noisy.

The only reason to buy WC is to get a better cooling, while those 2 is really performing as a half priced air coolers then imo there is simply no point of buying it.
We are not talking about H55/60 vs high end air coolers.. with are talking about average ones which in fact are cheaper:

Btw not sure how "cleanness about the air, the eficiency and the price" is favoring that Corsairs... its exactly the opposite.
- You can get cheaper air coolers
- You can get more efficient air coolers
- maintenance is either the same or easier (both have radiators which will get dust eventually)

Do you think "Cheaper air coolers" will be better than mid-end water coolers? Can you indicates some air cooler who fits in a carbide spec-02? And of course, must have in Brazil.
