Question What CPU Cooler should I get?

[jamesanyoung]

My CPU and MOBO are in my signature. I dont have too much PC building experience, but my CPU thermals are starting to creep up, and I would like to proactively deal with it.

Probably will be buying from Amazon.ca or Newegg Canada.

Thanks!

What cooler do you currently have? If you have a water cooler that's between 2-5 years old it might be a bit clogged.

It is an Anker unit that came with the build from Cyber Power PC. it does Gurgle a little bit

Then, I'm guessing it's probably the same age as your board and that. I would first try just replacing the paste and cleaning any dust that might be in your system. If you live in a dry environment you can use an air compressor to remove it, if not just go to like a dollar store and buy 3-4 cans of air to remove it. If you need help finding a decent thermal paste just let me know.

Thank you - can you recommend a closed liquid loop with a twin radiator? RGB would be cool too

The case is the issue , not really designed for the good AIO's.

Really? This case is so big I would have thought that just about any AIO loop would fit..
