Best Aio pump for 8700k 5ghz overclock?

[huberjason97]

Hello, I'm looking for recommendations for an Aio Cpu pump that will get the best temps on a 5ghz OC. I don't have the room for a custom loop and currently have a Corsair H100i v2 installed and it does ok when I run Aida64 but just wanted to get some opinions on what cooler you might recommend. Thanks

the best thing you can do for cheapness, is change the fans to something better.
or spend a lot more money when you really dont have to

I did upgrade the fans and have four on the radiator in a push\pull config and I'm getting occasional spikes up to 83c. At 4.9ghz it really does well, stays in the 60s when running the stability test. I know I really don't need 5ghz but it's just me messing around trying to get to 5ghz but I don't like seeing it get above 80c. It's only random spikes but still. I'm going to stay with 4.9ghz for now but I would be interested in knowing if there is an AIO out there that performs better than others.

A jump from 60s to 80s at a .1GHz increase isnt something a new cooler will solve.
4 aftermarket fans on an H100i would be plenty if your processor was capable of it, it would seem though you have hit your wall.

Yea I think you're right, eh it's whatever I guess, I don't really need the .1 anyway. I haven't delidded it so I may do that in the future. I put this build together not very long ago so I'm just putting it through the paces, trying to see what I can get out of it. Thanks for your input!

If you are spiking up to that temp, I would say that it is your AIO failing. My H100 failed and I bought a h115i - super quiet and really good.
