My next build is a 3700X paired with an Asus ROG X570 board. Here are my questions:
1) Is it worthwhile to go with an AIO, or is a tower air cooler sufficient for a 3700X?
2) For AIOs, I'm considering Deepcool's Castle series (mainly because they're one of the better AIOs within my budget and are also currently on sale). Should I go full size 360, or is 240 enough?
3) For Tower Air Coolers, would my Cooler Master 212 Evo do the job? If not, would a push/pull setup be better?
I am planning to run Power Boost Overdrive to see what my CPU can handle, but I'm not going to do any further tweaking than that. And I'm building this into a Phanteks P400A with the mesh front so airflow shouldn't be an issue.
I'd appreciate any help you can give, and any suggestions on alternate cooling products you may have. Thanks in advance!
