Hi,
Although I have the fairly decent Noctua NH-U12P SE2 Dual Fan Quiet CPU Cooler I'm fed up seeing those temperatures rise under Prime as I increase the VCore.
You can see my hardware in my sig. and I want to achieve 4GHz without reaching 80°C and higher.
Therefore I am considering going water!
Although my graphics card is a GeForce 8800GTS 512MB and I intend on replacing it with something better at some stage I doubt I'll want to invalidate the warantee by dismantling the stock cooler on it. Not initially anyway
Actually thinking about it how much better performance would I get from my existing card if I used water cooling?
I've never clocked a graphics card so wouldn't know what to do anyway!
So now the CPU.
Should I go with the H50, another CPU cheap liquid-cooling option (I see there are others out there) or (and the way I usually try to do it) utilise a proper liquid cooling solution?
Secondly, how noisy are the pumps in these applications?
I have the Corsair Obsidian 800D which lends itself to water cooling solutions so I have plenty of room and whatnot for building this.
If you think I should do it the proper way please can you recommend equipment and give me a full list of what I'll need?
Do these things leak and/or need a lot of maintaining?
Many thanks for any help.
