are u saying i should replace my current fan & radiator for the one u suggested?
the other question was if liquid aios are compatible with my current cpu radiator or itll have to be replaced
Currently you’ve got an air cooled heat sink with integrated heat pipes. Which is cooled by a single 120 mm fan.
You definitely don’t have a radiator. And no, your current CPU heat sink won’t be compatible with an AIO.
All I’m saying is … before you invest in a costly AIO. The air cooler I’ve mentioned should have better thermal cooling capabilities than the one you’ve got currently. And with approx. $40 it would be way more affordable than an AIO which would be $120 or so, I guess.
Nevertheless, before you buy that cooler. I would definitely check beforehand if the thermal paste is evenly spread currently. Maybe it’s not and that is your current issue. Furthermore, I would check if the mounting pressure is evenly distributed by the mounting screws. Also, I can’t really tell if you would have enough space in your case for the cooler I’ve mentioned which you should check beforehand.
I have always gone air cooled i.e. heat sink and fan. I really think your setup is likely sufficient. In my experience it is usually a bad paste job, bad paste or both.
tysm!!!
i just remembered something that i totally forgot and can be important. with both cpu fans i had my mobo emits a long beep, then four short beeps, and says cpu fan error, but i can boot as normal and never thought it was important. this beeps seem to say something about the fan
