CPU Watercooler tips

[Oppen]

Anyone who can sugest a watercooler for a CPU? Im kinda lost in all the reading i have done.

What is your CPU? Also do you plan to overclock, lightly overclock and not overclock at all. Do you care about noise and fan speeds? Budget?

 

[Oppen]

its a I5-4690K, will clock it lightly and i dont like the noise on the fans

 

[Karl_oh]

What sorta budget we talking about?

 

[Oppen]

160 - 170 USD

Well in that case i have heard good things about the Corsair H80i, Nzxt Kraken x60 also has good reviews for low decibels aswell

was thinking about Corsair H100i Hydro Series CPU cooler with 2x 120mm Noctua fans.

That would be ample cooling, I forgot about that one Im actually buying it for my i5 4960K rig aswell that Im building currently - not sure how I forgot xD

hehe, with all the possibilities out there, i dont blame you!

Wow! Also you got a case in the budget i cant find one :O

About the motherboard, Do you have any experience about that one? was reading that you needed to reboot the computer if u overclock the CPU or GPU, cant remember if its just one of them or if you OC both.

Just went with a cheap but some Good/OK recomendations the total of the build will reach about 2,100 USD i guess

Nope you dont have to touch anything, Haswell refresh chips like the i5 4960K are fine on the Z79 platform, its just the Z87 platform wont work straight out of the box with haswell refresh

ah, ok thanks alt man!

 

[Karl_oh]

Good luck with the build
