Default Re: System cooling in general

Chipset coolers are really not necessary unless you are looking for extreme quiet. The stock coolers are almost always as good and don't cause clearance issues. Plus they almost always cause a restriction and slow down flow rates. I would put one in it's own loop if it is used.
