650d Watercooling Help

4ndy89 · 4 May 2015 at 00:34

Hey guys, im considering adding some watercooling into my machine to extend the life a bit before a full on upgrade.

I'm pretty clueless about watercooling in general but I assume its going to do better than what i've got now.

Stock Corsair 650D Case
2500k at 4.5ghz under a Gelid tranquilo
R290x Reference cooler, runs so unbelievably extremely hot.

Im looking at the corsair cpu cooler range and this corsair solution for the gpu

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-029-CS

Problem is I see H55, H60, H75, H80I, H80GT, H90, H100i, H100i GTX, H105, H110 and I havent got a clue whats suitable for my case, card and gpu.

Thanks for any advice.

Hi,

All of our AIO hydro coolers will fit the 650D except the H105 (370mm rad). I'd suggest this blog, it'll explain to you in details what the differences are between those coolers you mentioned above, http://www.corsair.com/en-us/blog/2...ler-decoder-ring-and-case-compatibility-chart. I hope it helps.

I have a H100i fitted to my 650D Case & it's been faultless in the 12 months I've run it.
Temps on my 4770k @4.5ghz rarely exceed 60c.

That's awesome! It's always nice to hear positive feedback from you guys

Thanks you for taking the time to share your experience with both the H100i and 650D.. I appreciate it!
