Watercooling advice (Spec Me Request)

[MPD]

Hi

I have a air cooled setup at the moment - spec below.

The CPU is o/c to 4.2GHz and is stable under load (Prime, Intel Burn Test) - but runs a little too hot for my liking (mid-80's), its running early 40's on idle

As you can see I'm using the Megahalems heatsink which seems as good as I can get on air. I had considered the Corsair H80 (&100) but they don't seem to perform any better than this but for more noise.

I'm not really looking to overclock the GPU so at present, probably am just looking for a CPU cooling solution maybe the OcUK V6 or V8

I'm looking for easy to install - very low maintenance solution that will materially improvement my cooling - I'm not looking to overclock beyond what I've already done. Any suggestions would be really appreciated!

All - thanks for taking the time to reply. Now even more confused though

Are you saying that the radiator that comes in the kit (the XSPC EX120 120mm Radiator) isn't good enough and you would all use a 240mm radiator (which as you say won't fit in the case)?
