Ryzen CPU cooling
« on: November 21, 2017, 02:48:26 PM »
Hello everyone.
I am planning to build a ~$700-900 PC budget build. You guys  already saw my case from my previous thread topic, so. XD well, anyways i was wondering should i look for a good air cooler or water cool my CPU? I am trying to make this build as cost effective as possible, & I am only getting a Ryzen R3 1200 processor due to its cost. Do you think even an AIO would be overkill for this CPU, because i will be doing a little bit of an overclock (up to ~3.6-3.8GHz)?

Mark.

my thoughts on the matter...
air cooled is all you need.
your proposed CPU is low end enough not to generate any heat that the supplied heat sink couldn't handle.
and if you only OC it slightly, that shouldn't change.  but also, only slightly OC'ing may not make any discernible difference.

Thank you Mark. I might eventually trade it out for a more powerfull Ryzen CPU in the future, but that isn't at a determined date yet seeing i have to build this pc first. XD
