Cooler master 240mm is an AIO with 2 fans, thats a great cooler. And AIO’s look a lot better imo

 

[SamKes]

The 212 black?

 

[Ash_]

Cooler master masterliquid lite 240 for just £47

You don’t ever need to touch it, it should be maintenance free. Otherwise only thing i can suggest, is ask them to hold out of the build, until the Noctua comes back in.

Also i just realised... intel?

 

[SamKes]

Yea i7-10700k

Noctua

Out of stock probably

Most people on here wouldn’t recommend intel these days. They are plagued by issues, lack of design architecture and a poor upgrade path, due to motherboard support. It may be worth cancelling and asking on here, for an AMD spec.

get ready to be hounded by the intel police 😂😂

Again not a fan of amd rather stick with intel I decided to wait for noctua to bck in stock, I've got 14 days to cancel if it doesn't come in stock by then it was in stock 3 days ago so finger crossed soon

yeah its amazing how much people tried to persuade me and my colleague to go amd even after I explained that it wast an option as I need avx-512 which amd doesn't support

If you have an intel specific software, then of course go intel, but other than that, there really aren’t many reasons to go intel (some but not many).

They should be able to delay the build, that way you wont need to cancel.

yeah I agree but some people couldn't see where I was coming from which I sort of understand as avx-512 isn't exactly well known
