Hi,
This is my first post so don't flame if I say anything wrong. First things first, I built my PC about 2 weeks ago and I've just got a few questions.
My current spec is as follows:
AMD fx-6300 stock 3.8ghz
Corsair 1600mhz 8gb ram
Msi 6670 2gb
Seagate barracuda 1tb HDD
Liteon optical drive
Coolermaster elite 430
Coolermaster elite 500w psu
Asus m5a97
I ran a prime95 torture test for 30 mins and it ran 61 degrees Celsius for 25 of the 30 minutes. So, seems as though the reccomended limit is 62; should I go with a watercooling setup and a new case (obsidian 650d)? Or would a new GPU (sapphire boost 7950) and psu (antec gaming 850w)
So, I would like to spend about £350 in total on a watercooled build including the case I mentioned which is £130.
I would like mid level components if you could reccomended any for the WC build?
Criteria would include: 1/2 I'd 3/4 od tubing
Double rad preferably xspc
CPU block (koolance 370?)
Pump (phobya 2.2/4?)
Res (love the bitspower z-multi)
And anything else including coolant, barbs etc..
If you would like some photos of my build, I'll get some up tomorrow!
Josh.
