Quick question about cooling

[Kye]

Which is better, a cheap $60 liquid cooling system or non-liquid cooling in the same price range?

will the non-liquid be just as quiet? Will it die sooner since it probably has to sustain higher rpm?

Thanks!

You're better off air cooling unless you want to spend money on a good custom water loop.

Air cooling can still provide a quiet cooling experience as well as pretty good temperatures for light/moderate overclocking.

At the rate of $60 dollars, you might as well get a Cooler Master. They're pretty reliable and as quiet as it gets for the price range. Here's what you want http://pcpartpicker.com/part/cooler-master-cpu-cooler-rr212e20pkr2

If he has $60, i would get something nicer.

I would get either what ninja has suggested or for the $60 get a corsair h60, better cooling than the dark rock 2 and also much less bulky in the case.
