I recently ordered a new pc (my first gaming pc) and have some questions about it. im looking at my invoice and it is saying i have both a case fan and a water cooler. i thought i read somewhere that you can have either one or the other? also i dont plan on overclocking but would a water cooler be best for my pc (future upgrading question) ?
Here is the pc i purchased http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/Cyber_Deal_Z170-I7. only upgrades were to a 120MM case fan and 2x 8 GB of RAM
thanks,
Dean

My personal opinion: Don't go for liquid cooling unless you're going to need it (overclocking, hot climate etc, room ventilation sucks). Don't trust in the stock CPU cooler though. I would suggest something like Noctua's NH-U14

From what I can see here your pc has an AIO Cooler on the processor, if it comes allready built I personally sugest to not tamper with it.
You have a water liquid cooler on that powerfull i7 skylake that is of a higher quality built as others, as long as you have waranty for them just use the pc and clean it.
The air cooling is for your PSU and video card, that are still air cooled
I allso recomend only clasic wind coolers, but as it seems your pc is allready built so don't you worry, I trust that AIO cooler, and i think that it will not break.
*AIO = All in One system
*PSU = Power suply unit
LE: Your pc is a beast, when you can afford i suggest allso to buy another 8gb of ram.
New games tend to ask for 8GB or more, so it will be a shame to be bottlenecked by your ram capacity.

DeanTheRhino, may I ask how is your Asetek 550LC CPU cooling doing? Is it noisy?
