What would be the best air cooler for a corei7 920?
It needs to fit on the ASUS P6T DELUXE V2 and also in the coolermaster cosmos s case.
I was thinking of water but I will only be overclocking to 3.2GHz.
So no need for water.
 
No need for the best cooler either then.
Still, as you asked, I vote Thermalright ultra 120 extreme. Almost any fan will do at that clock, reasonable chance it'll be alright passive
 
Definately no need for a fenrir - it's bloody noisy.

TRUE 120 and a nice quiet fan at low RPM would win for me too, it won't throw out a lot of heat at 3.2gHz
 
I am now building my own after returning that PC.
It turns out they have put in cheaper older components and tried to sell them off as being better!!!!
I am now building my own as my trust has been broken.
If you can't trust yourself,who can you trust!;)
I am now sourcing all the parts to build my own.
 
I am looking to do a water cool on the CPU only.
How hard is it to connect up a reservoir,pump,240mmradiator with 2 120mm fans and the CPU block?
Also what cables will i need to connect the PSU to the other components?
I am buying the tagan piperock TG 1100w?
What are the most common cables I will need?
I have a NZXT SENTRY LX to control all my fans apart from the exhaust fan at the rear.
 
Any power supply comes with all the cables you could possibly need.

It isn't at all hard if you buy compatible fittings and tubes, have somewhere to put the radiator, and leak test for ages. The previous things give people problems. Cpu blocks are easier to fit than most heatsinks, and the only electrical connection is to the pump. There's probably talent involved in routing the tubes optimally, but as long as reservoir is before pump and tube length isn't very long it'll be fine.
