Hi..current system is as follows..

1. Asus z170 Motherboard (not the a version..standard z170)
2. Intel i7 6700k @ 4.6 ghz @ 1.35v
4. Cryorig H7 Cpu Cooler
5. 2x 8gb G skill ripjaw v series @ 3200 mhz
6. evga gtx 1060 6gb SSC overclocked even more about +300 mhz mem.
7. Corsair cx750 PSU
8. Lg Blu ray Optical Drive

Case: Corsair 450D. Upgraded fans too 2x 140 mm af140 corsair fans intake in front..2 out up top and 1 af120mm fan pointing out in back. I plan on removing the 2 off top for the rad.

Ok..so why do i want this and what do i need..

Well..never had one first off. And why..

Well I can stabalized the cpu @ 4.8 ghz..but runs around 85c and can spike to 90c. Im hoping to bring that down a bit. I am also interested in aesthetics as well. Id like the heatsink to be lit red in one way or another and get rid of the bulk air cooler.

P.S. - Ive only used the usb headers the case requires. And I do need it.. I am unaware if I have another header available or not on the z170.

P.S.2? - I need a way to add some more red lighting on the inside. Suggestions of what and how would be awesome! Want them to turn on and off with the system though.

The Closed-loop Liquid Cooler has one important job and that is too keep the CPU as cool as possible under load.

I would suggest the Corsair Hydro H60 (New, not used.) This keeps my overclocked i5-4690K under 50c when running at 4.6GHz.
