If I had to choose, I would take the NZXT Kraken. But have you consider air cooling too ?

Some heatsinks like the Noctua NH -D14 or the Phanteks PH-TC14PE cools better than AIO coolers and are fare more quiet. They may be cheaper and you don't risk any liquid leaking into your computer.

If you have space in your case, I higly recommend the PH-TC14PE. Even with three fans, this thing is completely silent (the coolers comes with two).

Hi Oleonius

Dear J_Jordan96,

I would suggest the Eisberg 240L especially since its expandable. You will be able to add additional radiators if you need more cooling then what the 240mm radiator is able to provide. You are also able to add a GPU waterblocks to the loop if you decide to liquid cool your graphics card.

Please let me know if you have any more questions

hi CM-Patrick

what sort of extra could add water cool my 770 4gb and what sort of temps would i get if i water cooled my I5 4670K that will be overclocked to about 4.0Ghz (originally 3.4Ghz) and the 770 4GB together.

Yours

James

Hello J_Jordan96

The temps will be lower then if you were air cooling the CPU. It really depends on the radiators and fans. Since you want to water cool the GPU also, another option would be to purchase the Eisberg Solo. Then you can choose your own radiators, fans, fittings/tubing, and GPU waterblock.

Please let me know if you have any more questions.
