Hey,


I would really like to know a good cheap water cooler off ebay, and maybe a tutorial, because this will be my first time actually fitting cooling. Before anyone says, is it necessary, I know it is.

Incase it helps, here is some details on my PC

Motherboard: GA-H81M-H

Processor: Pentium G3220 @ 3.0GHz Dual Core

Thanks!

I agree that the hyper 212 is probably the most affordable solution and the most straight forward. You can still achieve good OC's with it!

But if you must go for water :http://www.scan.co.uk/products/antec-h2o-kuhler-650-water-cooling-kit-120mm-pwm-fan-rgb-led-temperature-sensor-120mm-radiator
Very easy installation. Good temps, Never had problems with these.

It actually is necessary...
I am hitting temperatures like 85c. Also, just because it's a Pentium, doesn't mean its bad, google it, it's actually a decent processor.
 
85c is normal for an entry level processor on full whack!

What case fans do you have? How many? And what price range are you looking at? 120mm Radiator? Or 240mm? (Personally I think 120mm is more than enough).

Something like the Cooler master h620 or equivalent are cheap and cheerful! Easy to install, Instructions included and plenty of YouTube tutorials available.
 


Thanks for the helpful reply, I hit 85c - 90c.

Price range is probably about £30 -£40

I have 3 fans One on the front (LED) One for the processor, and the PSU fan (excluding the internal GPU fan)
 
If you case has the height clearance, you could also use a Hyper 212 Evo. You never stated what you are using now to cool it. Are you using the stock cooler? The Hyper 212 Evo is a great option for an affordable cooler that will give you good temps at a sane OC.
