CPU Cooling
Processor coolers attach to your processor and keep the temperature of your processor down. With the way turbo boost now works, a cooler processor will automactically turbo higher providing is has the thermal headroom, in addition to running faster, a cooler processor will have a longer lifespan, overclock much better and run with greater stability. They also aid noise reduction and improve case air flow. A popular option for all gaming computers as they offer good gains for little money.
When choosing an overclocking option these higher end choices are essential to ensuring a good overclock amount is achieved.
