Yep, don't really need watercooling unless you're overclocking

I'd expect an air cooler to perform as well as the coolit with the cpu at stock clock speed.

thanks

anypoint getting a SSD CACHE DRIVE if im not overclocking?

 

[keynes]

You mean getting an SSD cache drive from the savings of downgrading the CPU cooler? I'd go for an SSD as the main drive, 60gb should suffice for the OS and main drivers.

my current air cooler is actually quite a bit better than my coolit eco I ever was

Caviar green is more energy efficient and slower than the caviar black.
