    Posted: 19 Mar 2014 at 8:27am
I've been looking at computers for a couple weeks now, and ruled out the previous vanquish for cost reasons, but the new model barely puts it within my budget, however, I'm concerned about the cooling downgrade. I tend to do long gaming sessions (sometimes five hours), especially for games like Fallout and Mass Effect, and I don't want to burn my system out after two years because the parts over heat. Will the upgraded CPU air cooling deliver enough compared to liquid cooling to handle the stress of long gaming sessions?

Do you mean the older Vanquish lvl 4 with H60 cooler vs new V4 with air cooler?

If that's it, the new Vanquish lvl 4 doesn't have an overclocked cpu so the new air cooler, the CM Hyper T4 I believe but that can change, is fine.   I haven't seen any tests on it, but its certainly better than Intel's stock cooler for an stock cpu.   Being stock speeds with no oc, the heat generated is a lot less.

Hope this answers it. Big%20Smile

Air cooling is pretty much right on par with liquid cooling now an days

The air cooling upgrade we use on the Lv 4 Vanquish will have no problem with gaming sessions well over 4 hours.
