The same way you use the other ones? I'm not sure what you're asking.... fitment?Ya I was just wounding how people use 420mm aios.
Now we're cooking with fire!And what I meant was how are people temps on their systems.
So, it's doing nothing if I put it in push pull confg? And what about under volting I have heard about this but never tried it.Now we're cooking with fire!
As I said earlier, it handles a 14900K...it will handle your 14700K. Other people's temps are largely irrelevant as there are so many different variables between systems that even if they have same cooler, it's a different ambient temp, chassis, fan speed, etc. During a stress test or Cinebench R23 or newer, it's probably still going to throttle, but that's how these chips work, really (depending on the mobo, yours will allow it to reach 100C - normal, during those tests). During gaming and other, much lighter loads, it won't come close to that.
Again, a simple 3x120mm would be fine for your CPU, if you'd like to save some money (this feels wasteful to me with 14700k) with your piece-meal purchase plan.![]()
Not really, no. In your case, more power use and noise for little to no gains.So, it's doing nothing if I put it in push pull confg? And what about under volting I have heard about this but never tried it.
I am replacing the fans to one brand for the whole rig.wow... what a price! $124.99 on sale.
a 360 vs 420mm AIO... i hate to say it, but is really more of a cosmetic choice based on the other fans you have in the case, if you have a side window showing the motherboard compartment. If you're using 120mms everywhere, then you'd prolly want a 360; 140mms? use the 420 AIO for uniformity. If you're going for performance, then you'd prolly replace the fans on the radiator to get the noise / pressure/ cfm ratio you want. well, that's what i'd do anyway. I'm the weirdo who likes all my fans in the case to be the same if possible. Too bad the 420 AIO i cosmetically liked didn't come out til AFTER i had already installed the 360... oh well... /sigh
I like simple.I was really never a fan of AIO coolers. I figured if I'm going to build a high powered rig and I want it to be cool and quiet, I'd spend a few more dollars for a custom loop. But then that's me
I can understand people go that route so as to keep the routine maintenance down to a minimum. AIO cooling has come a long way since it first came out.
Good luck with the new build and be sure to post pics.
