Is a 120mm AIO better than a stock cooler?

Unlike the large coolers, 120mm AIOs don’t really provide that much more cooling performance than high-end air CPU coolers. However, they do still provide more cooling performance than stock coolers and they bring better aesthetics to the table, too. And, they also work well in small form factor builds as well.

Is 120mm AIO enough for CPU?

Are you going to be overclocking? If not then the regular Wraith Stealth cooler that comes with it is enough to keep the CPU in check, so a 120mm liquid AIO should be more than enough.

Is AIO liquid cooler worth it?

Why should you use an AIO cooler? Just as a swimming pool cools you down quicker than a fan, AIO coolers are much better at chilling CPUs than air. This allows you to get the most out of more powerful components because you can overclock your processor to make it faster without temperatures rising too high.

What is the cooling performance of a 120mm AIO?

The cooling performance of a good 120mm AIO can be compared to a good mainstream or budget CPU Cooler. A good high-end CPU Air cooler (e.g., dual tower, etc.) can perform as good as a mainstream 240mm AIO.

Do I need a better AIO cooler?

You don’t need a better cooler than what you already have. 120mm AIO are a huge waste imo. The radiatorsize is lower then that of a decent air cooler and such is the performance. A good aircoller espacially twin tower air coolers will stomp it easily.

What is the difference between Aio and dual tower CPU coolers?

The dual-tower CPU coolers are bigger, having dual heatsinks and are used for high-end processors and overclocking. On the other hand, AIO cooler comes in 120mm, 240mm, and 360mm dimensions, where the thickness of the radiator may vary from one AIO to another. There is absolutely no doubt the AIOs look way better compared to Air coolers.

Is 240mm AIO good enough for a high end CPU?

A good high-end CPU Air cooler (e.g., dual tower, etc.) can perform as good as a mainstream 240mm AIO. With AIO, you can always increase its performance by adding better fans with high static pressure, and you can also add extra fans in push-pull confirmation to improve the performance further.
