I'm looking for some help please regarding upgrading my current PC which is a 4yr old build with a few changed components over the years. Basically as the PC sits in my living room I want to reduce the noise and cool it better than it currently is. This is my current setup:
Fractal Design Define R3 low noise case
Intel i7 3770k CPU (basic overclocking to 4.0 ghz)
Corsair Hydro H80 High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler
Asus P8Z77-V
16gb Corsair PC3-12800
MSI Radeon R9 390 Gaming Edition (not oc'ed)
Corsair CX 750W 80 PLUS Bronze
34" UW LG monitor
Now at the moment when i play a game, even just WOW, the GPU pushes over 90 degrees (60 idle) and the CPU also approaches 90 (40 idle). I had a few full PC crashes during the summer too but don't have the record of temps from then.
So after a few months of frustration with the situation, a unique opportunity presented itself this week which will allow me to upgrade my PC. I would LOVE a full watercooled PC and considered a straight replacement, but decided that the more sensible option was to upgrade my graphics card and try to sort out the noise/cooling.
I would love to put in a custom watercooling kit but having read the many informative posts here, the ongoing maintenance could be an issue (i forget to do that sort of thing!).
So, i am looking to replace the AIO cpu cooler and buy a nvidia 1080 with built in AIO watercooling.
Therefore i would appreciate some recommendations for this...... although i still yearn in my heart to hear about a simple custom kit which requires little maintenance!
