I have an 8350, well not quite yet its being RMAd. But I had an 8150 with this(with a 2000 or 2500rpm fan, so not the stock fan, idle 15c @ stock clock):

Was thinking with going water cooled so I can OC better with lower temps. The problem is, I cannot fit a big cooler in my case unless I drill some holes and run the radiator outside the case, which is a possibility.

So I was thinking of running something like this(push pull setup, this should bolt right into my cases exhaust fan):

I have an Antec 300 case? I believe mid tower case. Basically, would that smaller water cooler have similar temps as my A30 or will it cool better also as a push/pull setup?

Thanks in advance.

The 212 evo is practically identical to what I currently have.


I normally leave my system running for hours at a time. sometimes all day.

I did look at the h80i. Just all thoughts I will keep the water in mind if you all think it will do better.

h90 would be tough, doubt it would fit. I have the 140mm top exhaust fan, but, its about 1/4" from my mobo. So I am pretty sure it would not fit unless I ran the radiator on top of the case and fed the cables through somehow, and then that just seems like a lot of work lol. Might as well go with the h100 at that point.
