Desktop Computers Questions & Answers
What cooling do you use on your gaming desktops?
Follow Discussion
Well I guess a lot of us here are possessed by the same gaming insanity when it comes to our desktop rigs. That said, I'm sure most of you are getting the kick not only using it, but probably when designing and building the actual thing. So, gamerheadz, my question is what type of cooling you have invested your savings for? That should include the type, the brand and some details about the rig, too. Feel free to showcase your stuff.

I use my default Intel fan and it's pretty good - quiet and keeps my CPU cool :)
On my AMD system I use a Xigmatek Cooler with 3 heatpipes and a big 12cm fan. Its pretty darn quite. :)

I use a thermaltake SpinQ, just because it looks so damn cool in my windowed case ;)

These are some piece of art....amazing coolers. I use Xigmatek with 4 heat pipes
I used to use an old coolermaster that was surprisingly quiet and cool.
I used to have cooler master as well but i strongly recommend liquid cooling if you can afford it

Liquid cooling - only if you overclock heavily, for me :)
Not only for heavy overclocking....i recommend it for any overclocking at all :)
