I want a 120mm liquid cooler for my PC. I do NOT want a 240mm, i know the performance difference but i want something cheap and cheerful to keep my CPU down when i play games. The CPU that i have is an AMD Athlon 750K and the motherboard in case you need that is a ga-f2a55m-ds2. My budget is 50GBP, thank you. : )

What case do you have? And a 120mm liquid cooler isn't really worth it unless you go with like a h80i, but i would go air.

120/140mm AIOs are out-performed byu similarly proced air coolers(yes, even the H80i). I wouldn't bother with a 120/140mm AIO personally.

Oh, it's just that they're more out the way than something like a Hyper 212 Evo. I would prefer to not have a big clunk of metal hanging on my motherboard but i may just go for one of them.

Single fan Noctua or Phanteks air coolers aren't particularly big, but you'd need tomake sure your case has enough clearance. Even the PH-TC12DX isn't huge, and will out-perform the majority of 120/140mm AIOs. You could just get a Seidon 120V for now, it's a 120mm AIO and performs alright, will be good if you'd prefer not to use an air cooler.

It's just i personally don't like the looks of most CPU coolers that are like the 212 Evo or anything like that.

Thanks for your help and i will be sure to purchase that cooler. Quick question before i purchase the cooler, does it come with the liquid in it already, comes with a bottle or do i need to purchase one?

Thank you. : )

AIO's come pre-filled. No maintenance or construction needed.
