    Water or Air Cooling?

    I was originally planning on using H50 to cool my CPU.

    What i was wondering was would the H50 be quieter than a large Air cooler?

    Could anybody suggest any alternatives in that price range (or cheaper) for water cooling or air cooling?

    Thanks guys! :thumb:

    HI the H50 wont fit in a Apollo as the rad will hit the bottom of the PSU. Only the Domino ALC or eco will fit as there rads are flat on top.
    But neither is as good as a Akasa Nero, Titan Fenrir, Thermaltake Frio, or the Gelid Solutions Tranquillo.
    For price and ease of fitting the Akasa is a good move, or the Gelid is very quiet and still up to the job.
    The Titan and Frio are the two best air coolers, but fitting them in may be a squeeze.
