Hello all,
I recently upgraded my old AMD 1035t 95TDP CPU to a 1100t 125TDP CPU and was reusing my old fan heatsink cooler. The temperatures for my new CPU ranges from 40'C to 65'C on max load.
I want to upgrade my fan heatsink to a liquid cooler but frankly, I don't even know the difference between a liquid cooler and a water cooler. My motherboard model is a DX-4320-19 (Picture here: https://picclick.com/Genuine-Acer-Gateway-RS880M05G1-Rev-10-AMD-Desktop-122979829122.html) and it only supports AM3 CPU socket. I put in a EVGA SuperNova 650 G2 power supply in there to handle any power issues.
If I buy a new cooler, does the cooler have to have a specific dimension size to fit my motherboard? (height x width x length)
Here is a picture of my current fan heatsink cooler: https://ibb.co/nAgUJJ
Here are my questions, if you can answer some or all of them, that would be extremely helpful:
1. What is the best fan heatsink cooler model that will fit my old motherboard and CPU?
2. What is the best water cooler model that will fit my old motherboard and CPU?
3. What is the best liquid cooler model that will fit my old motherboard and CPU?
4. What would the temperature difference be between a fan, liquid and water cooler?
5. Does a liquid cooler consume more power than a fan heatsink cooler?(In terms of wattage)
6. Are all coolers indifferent and interchangeable between different motherboard socket types? (Like, you can put the same cooler on a AM2, AM3 and AM4 motherboard)
