Any suggestions for a good processor fan? Do I need to go water cooled? My i5 processor did just fine with games, I upgraded the processor for 3D software I own... thinking it was a mistake. The software is not that much faster  |
Water cooling is not necessarily better than traditional cooling. Just make sure your computer is well ventilated, meaning that all the fans create good air flow. Then go to PC parts picker and choose a cooler for I9, although I9 really isn't notorious for overheating, I think there might be an issue in the system. As mentioned above BeQuiet is a good company! Make sure fan has high RPM and isn't noisy
