[MEGATHREAD] Personal Computer - Updated builds thanks to Logical Increments
--LegoPepper--:
Can anyone suggest me a good cooler for an i5 4690k?
My motherboard is the Asrock z97 fatality (i'm not sure if this makes a difference)
I don't intend to overclock, but with my stock cooler my cpu can get up to 86 degrees celsius at the moment and I wanted to really lower that temperature.
Budget is around $60

are there any downsides to using water cooling?
none of my current parts use water cooling and i've never used watercooling before
thanks for replying quickly btw
edit: another question, will i need to purchase more thermal paste or will the pre-applied thermal paste on the cooler work just fine?

afaik, not really
maybe the possible chance of leaks but i'm sure those are extremely rare in aio coolers

thermal paste is really cheap and it wouldnt hurt to buy more for a backup incase you screw something up

Leaks are also something to look out for
