PC cooling

An air cooler and an all-in-one liquid cooler handle a mainstream processor with similar effectiveness. The difference lies in space: the height available in the case for one, room for the radiator for the other. Compatibility with the processor socket comes first, followed by noise under load. Case fans complete the setup by moving fresh air through the system.
