So now that my own upgrades are finished, I'm helping a friend put together his first dedicated music PC. While planning the build I realized that I know very little about CPU coolers. I lucked out that the manufacturer of my PC shipped it with some sort of non-water based liquid cooler that keeps the thing running at near room temperature; but we probably won't have that available for his build. We were looking at those Cooler Master fans that you basically paste onto your CPU. Something like the[url=https://pcpartpicker.com/products/cpu-cooler/][/url] Cooler Master - Hyper 212 Black Edition 42 CFM CPU Cooler. He's currently looking to stick with Intel CPUs.
Obviously we'd like the whole rig to run rather quietly.
Any suggestions? A specific cooler brand or type? No cooler at all?
