remember that the cpu youre getting doesnt come with a heatsink or fan. Water cooling is better for overclocking, a fan is fine for stock clocks, just make sure the cooler supports lga 2011.
1. go to the link of your motherboard. it should say atx. if its just atx, then any midsize case will do. go to the cases link, it should say motherboards supported: micro atx, atx, etc. you will need case fans to keep other components cooled. if you want to watercool your cpu, keep in mind that it costs more, but would be better if you plan on ocing it. but if i were you, i would buy a nice fan and heatsink 35-50$ usd, and keep stock clocks as there really isnt a reason to oc a brand new processor that runs at 3.7-3.9 and has 4cores, 8 threads. |
