    Air cooling or Liquid cooling?

    What is the difference between having an Air cooler or a Liquid cooler in your computer? The store I am buying my computer from doesn't have any good Air Coolers that fit the 1155 socket so I was thinking of getting a Corsair H60.

    5 years ago i'd choose liquid cooling too but today we have very good air cooler and they're more quiet than liquid cooler So try to buy a good air cooler on internet. I personnaly have a HR-02 Macho from Thermalright with a i5 2500K and an asrock axtreme4 gen 3 mobo. My cooler keeps my CPU under 50°C every time and is very quiet.
    You can easily find some benchmarks and choose a good cooler by yourself.

    I'm french, I'm really sorry if my english is bad. I try to do my best.

    The H60 is notably the worst of the H series from corsair. It is beat by some pricey air coolers and some cheaper ones as well. It will do the trick in a pinch tho, look for the Corsair A70 and 1156 is exactly the same as 1155. Now asrock mobo's come with 775 mounts with the 1155/1156 mounts.
