The Enermax Liqmax III 360 is a great choice for a liquid cooler. It's quiet and efficient, and I've seen good reviews for it. You can check out an overview in the TechReviewer article Choosing the Best CPU Cooler for Intel's Core i3-10105F.

Solution

I've been using the Noctua NH-D15 as my air cooler for quite some time now, and I must say that it's a premium product. It keeps temperatures low without being too noisy.

That's right! Both of those coolers are great options. The Enermax Liqmax III 360 is excellent for those who want an all-in-one liquid cooling solution, while the Noctua NH-D15 offers top-notch performance as an air cooler. I've seen some impressive results with both of these coolers in my builds.

Thanks for the suggestions! I appreciate the input from @PicardToBridge and @alsreddit. The Enermax Liqmax III 360 seems like a solid choice, but I'm also curious about air coolers. What are some differences between air and liquid coolers that might help me make my decision?

Air coolers tend to be more budget-friendly, but they can sometimes produce noise when running at maximum speed. On the other hand, liquid coolers provide better performance and quieter operation. It really depends on your preferences and what you're comfortable with in terms of noise levels and price.

That's helpful! I'm leaning towards the Enermax Liqmax III 360 since I prefer quiet operation. But I still have a few questions about it. How easy is the installation process, and how well does it perform under heavy workloads?

The installation of the Enermax Liqmax III 360 is pretty straightforward. As for its performance, it handles heavy workloads quite well without any issues. It's designed to keep temperatures low even during intense tasks.

Great! I think I'll go with the Enermax Liqmax III 360 then. Thanks a lot to @PicardToBridge and @alsreddit for their input. Your recommendations have helped me make my decision.

You're welcome, @gavinpirrie. I'm glad I could help! If you have any more questions or need further assistance in the future, don't hesitate to ask. Good luck with your build!
