What's the better coolant type for i7-4790k Water/Air?

[sebastian869]

Basically WHICH is the better CPU Coolant something like a Corsair H100i or Noctua NH-D15? The premise is just to find out if water cooling or air cooling is best, not the models of represented.
P.S. Guess to the same point is positive over pressure case better than negative pressure?

Your asking us to tell you which is better, air or water,but not to say which product is better between the 2 you selected? Uh well then we can't give an answer lol

But on a serious note, obviously water is better. Quite simply due to physics. And yes between the 2 products the h100i is a better cooler.

Positive pressure is better over negative pressure yes. Forces all the air out which in turn keeps dust from coming in.

this is a review site. if you want to see what keeps your CPU cool better look at the reviews

positive pressure is better

Positive pressure is not better. While some of it's side effects are desirable it is not necessarily more effective at cooling all of the components, negative pressure has it's advantages. But the far more critical factor is just the amount of airflow over a given component.

Air is a rubbish coolant it's basically an insulator so your far better off running water in your H100i.

The NH-D15 is as good at cooling as the H100i is. Go for whatever looks best.
