Hi. Here are my specs...
Case- Corsair Carbide 500R
Mobo- MSI Gaming G45
CPU- Haswell I5 4670k
GPU- MSI Gaming 780 ti
I had this PC put together a little while back. We took the Power Supply and HDD from my Alienware Aurora and moved it into the new PC. We also wanted to use the Closed loop Liquid cooler from the Alienware but we did not have the mounting mechanisms needed to put it on the new CPU. The cooler I had in the Alienware was a single radiator cooler from, I believe, Corsair. It just had the Alienware Logo on it. Since we could not use this cooler we instead found an old Asus Heatsink+fan Combo and used that.
The CPU runs at around 50 Degrees under load with this old cooler. Which is cooler than my old i7 920 ran with that liquid cooler. That i7 ran at upwards of 70 degrees.
Anyway, I want to get a good cooler for this 4670k and I want to overclock the CPU.
This case has room for a dual-radiator cooler on the top. I'm thinking of doing that but the guy who put my PC together says he prefers the big air coolers over the liquid.
I just want some recommendations for both the Liquid and Air coolers. I want to spend around 100 bucks give or take. Thanks in advance
