Hello.

Is Noctua u12a enough for i7 14th? I'm a little bit scared of aio, never had one, and I dont like idea of liquid in my pc:x PC will be used usually as gaming centre, and maybe once a time streaming centre for friends. Is AIO must have for 14th generation intel? Or for my purposes(gaming in 1080p at 100-160fps) is more than enough?

I was using a u12-a on a 14900k. Throttled out of the box at 5.7ghz.

Underclocked to 4.8ghz to keep temps at 80-85c under sustained load.

Put a Liquid Freezer ii AIO in last week and now I can push clock up to 5.3ghz and get the same 80-85c under sustained load.

Haven't tested fps in games or anything, but the added 500mhz feels nice :)

I switched from the NH-D15 to the same AIO. I regret not doing that from the beginning but lesson learned.
