Will my CPU liquid cooling work

I have a 500 watt psu and I was wondering with all my other components will my liquid cooling work

The cooler I want is a corsair h80 liquid cooler

My gpu is a r9 270x

My CPU is a amd 6600k

Ram is 8 gb

If there's any other specs you need ask

Will it even got in my case I have a vantage gaming case

Really need help because my CPU is getting 90 degrees and I really need to sort my CPU temp out so will this liquid cooler be comparable

Randomperson12680 · Feb 14, 2014

Also will liquid cooling make a big difference to that 90 degrees

dashboy1998 · Feb 14, 2014

What cooler are you using now? Any overclocking?

Immaculate · Feb 14, 2014

Well first off try reseating the heatsink you have, are you overclocked? AIO water coolers do not cool the ever important motherboards VRMs which get their cooling from the CPUs air cooler usually.
Instead of some crappy AIO cooler get a really great air cooler like the Noctua NH-U14S or NH-U12S it will cool just as good and be super quiet while still cooling the VRMs.

With your certain system I would just go with a something like a Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO or the Xigmatek Gaia. Cheap, cools much better than stock heatsinks and they don't break the bank.

I'm using stock and I think it's broke that's why I'm changing to liquid because i heard it gets the CPU a lot cooler

Randomperson12680 · Feb 14, 2014

Which one is better though because I am looking to at least half that 90 I'm getting

jeremyp79 · Feb 14, 2014

With an h100i, my 4670k@4.4ghz never goes over 55 degrees. The smaller AIO water coolers don't really cool a lot better than a good air cooler, at least in my limited experience. Might see if you can fit an h100 in your case, and try it instead of an h80

dashboy1998 · Feb 14, 2014

Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO and Xigmatek Gaia are alot better than the stock cooler.

dashboy1998 · Feb 14, 2014

jeremyp79 :

H105 instead of H100i

Randomperson12680 · Feb 14, 2014

Yes I know but out of the cool master hyper 212 Eco and corsair h80 which one will give me the most cooling

jeremyp79 · Feb 14, 2014

Hyper 212 would be your best bet, if it will fit in your case. What case are you using ?

dashboy1998 · Feb 14, 2014

Randomperson12680 :

H80 by far.

Randomperson12680 · Feb 14, 2014

Plus I am kind of broke and only have 50 pounds to spend so if you have any better cooler suggestions that would be great

Immaculate · Feb 14, 2014

They will cool very similar, both will keep you in safe operating ranges. Well since your "broke" the most viable option is the CM 212 EVO. When you apply the thermal paste use the "credit card method" this gives you the thinnest possible layer.

Randomperson12680 · Feb 14, 2014

Probably going for the h80 because the 212 is huge!!

jeremyp79 · Feb 14, 2014

The evo is huge, but you have to make sure you can mount the h80 as well. You need a 140mm fan mount, with a total of about 88mm of horizontal room to mount it. With both fans on the h80, it's rather large.

dashboy1998 · Feb 14, 2014

Randomperson12680 :

Evo isn't huge.

Immaculate · Feb 14, 2014

The evo fits in nearly every case.. i think it needs like 163mm of clearance that or 165mm, I cant remember right now.
