Watercooling vs AirCooling?

[ITechFreek]

I have been told: One other thing to consider overclocking generates a lot of heat, while the hyper 212 is one of the best, it's still an air cooler.

You may want to consider an all in one water cooler like these:

they do cost a bit more, but they are quieter and cool much more efficiently. Also they remove the heat directly from the CPU AND the case, where the 212 is just going to heat the entire case inside, combined with the GPU it'll get hot in there pretty quick.

You wont be able to hold an overclock without crashing if you cant deal with the heat it produces.

I have been looking around at watercoolers, and do not know what a good cheaper one would be. I've been looking around at items like the seidon 120 and such, but I need some clarification on a good cooler I can use for this (as you can see) budget build.

Radiators look cool and perform better, but they're also more complicated and more expensive. A heatsink and a fan to circulate air is more than enough for a 95w CPU and will even allow overclocking, depending on the fan it can last 10 years or more. Buying an AIO water cooler is playing the lottery and the lifespan of your pump is highly variable, plus you're going to want to replace your fans if you don't want a jet engine in your room/office.

EDIT: My recommendations are Noctua for air or Corsair for water.

no its not necessary to use watercooling when overclocking--though extreme overclocking may benefit from it especially if overclocking the gpu as well

as long as you have a decent airflow through your case the hyper 212 should cope

and the only AIO i would recommend arent cheap ones--they are cheap for a reason--usually aluminium radiator not copper--usually a poorer quality pump--usually louder fans to get the cooling a good AOI does

when it comes to AIO swiftech h140x h220x and h240x are the best by far

quality pump--quality block--copper rad--decent fans

expandable even though it comes as AIO--can be topped up--3 year warranty with swiftechs legendary support

i have used cheap AIO and used swiftech--the difference is like night and day between them

I am going to OC the GPU and the CPU as well, aiming for 4.0 GHz on the CPU.

the hyper 212 should handle 4ghz ok

Air is going to be easier for you to install, setup, clean, and it will last longer. In the long run you're going to want less noise and longevity and you're not going to be worried about clock-rate. At any rate, 4.0GHz is easily achievable and you shouldn't be considering a radiator right now with the parts you've selected. It makes no sense to purchase an over-sized cooler when you're lacking everywhere else. Spending that money instead on a better MOBO, RAM, SSD, or even GPU would more likely benefit you more.
