In this video, we will compare two ways of cooling your CPU: air and liquid. Which one is better for your PC? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each? How do they work and how to install them? We will answer all these questions and show you the performance and temperature results for different models of coolers. You will learn how to choose the optimal cooler for your CPU, depending on your budget, goals and preferences.

Air cooling is based on using fans that blow cold air on a radiator with heat pipes that transfer heat from the CPU. Air coolers are cheaper, easier to install and maintain than liquid coolers, but they take up more space in the case and can create noise. Liquid cooling uses a special liquid that circulates through a closed system of tubes, connecting a water block on the CPU and a radiator with fans on the back or top panel of the case. Liquid coolers are more efficient, quieter and prettier than air coolers, but more expensive, harder to install and prone to leakage risk.

We compared several popular models of air and liquid coolers, such as CoolerMaster MasterAir MA6241, DEEPCOOL Assassin III2, Zalman CNPS 10X Performa Black2, Deepcool Castle 120R3 and Scythe Mugen 5 BE3. We measured the temperature and fan speed under different load on the CPU and at different voltage supply. We also evaluated the noise level, build quality, aesthetics and price of each cooler.

Based on our tests, we can draw the following conclusions:

Air coolers are suitable for budget or mid-range systems that do not require extreme overclocking or quiet operation. They are easy to install and do not require additional maintenance. However, they can interfere with access to other components, such as memory or motherboard, and create excess heat inside the case.
Liquid coolers are suitable for high-performance or enthusiast systems that require maximum cooling or minimum noise. They effectively transfer heat from the CPU and take it out of the case. They also look stylish and light up with different colors. However, they are more expensive, harder to install and prone to leakage or pump noise.
We hope this video will help you decide which cooler to choose for your PC. If you liked the video, please subscribe to our channel, like and comment. Thank you for watching!
