How much can i Overclock with this custom water cooling? (is that good?)

kamhagh · Mar 12, 2014

well, i didn't want to ask on other peoples thread but also its a small question

so

pump and container: XSPC X2O 750 V4 Dual Bay WaterCooling Pump

Radiator : XSPC EX240 Dual fan WaterCooling Radiator

Water Block : XSPC RASA Intel CPU Water Block

this is what i found after days of searching

i probably gonna need a new case IF bought ! its price of an GTX 760 (GIGA) or many other things ! but i don't know why im really interested in water cooling ! only place would be rear or side

which would be stupid and side requires re installing the cooler every time i open case xD

how about an h100i? would it be good? as its closed loop not visible im not really interested

, do you think its a total waste of money?!

A CLC is not as good as a custom loop. that's a decent kit but you can get the newer raystorm kit for around 260 with a better pump. It will let you overclock at better temperatures than an aircooler but does come with its own set of maintenance problems.

yes, but this is only thing i found ! also i found enermaxes water cooling but i guess on whole country, thats the only ones sold from stores maybe there are persons who brought them from other countries while traveling !

Ahh where are you located then? and there is nothing wrong with that kit it is still good

some kind of hell/desert , but there's30% chance i will buy one this is more for knowledge but still i might buy it, how much is average that i could reach with that? where does the pump get power from, is it high ?;o

Well that kit is good for a CPU(750 pump) you would need a different pump (D5 or equivalent) for multi GPU. Depending on your ambient you can expect 10-15C temp drops over air. even in hotter temps you will get closer to ambient than with air cooling.

i get 75 at prime95 with stock :| how much do you guess, and i need better pump only for multi gpu or i need better one even for 1 liquid cooled gpu? how much can i OC GTX760 with that ?

and how many GHz do you think i can reach in both cpu/gpu

Spectre694 · Mar 12, 2014

No for one CPU and one GPU you should be good just remember to keep your tubing neat. As for the overclocking speed GHz that really depends on the chips but if you have 75C now you should expect in the 50-60 range with that set up so you will have plenty of thermal headroom for overclocking.

25 degreea diffrence cool

but also cool xD hmm but doesnt evo 212 or some noctua model gives same? BTW i heard from few prople that they droped lota of ice in container ! Guess atleast reached 40degrees !

Thanks btw

dont really think worth it! Maybe when i dont have anything to do with my money, like maybe next years also my pc will be a little slow ! I aldo want to buy new nexus :s

Spectre694 · Mar 12, 2014

The Noctura are the best you can get on air but they can't compete with a proper water setup I've used both. Lot easier than water though. The 212 preforms great and is much cheaper than a noctua.

Haha ya below ambient cooling with ice is pretty fun to mess with once and a while but all the maintenance and extra work makes it get old fast 30-40C temps are pretty cool though.

The Nexus sounds pretty cool to me though probably use it more too lol

Spectre694 :

if i get air cooling i will get EVO 212 !
if i see i dont have money problem i get one

i dont know why i just love water cooling

yes it is ! what you think about around 4 degrees idle temp xD lol but its idle

i heard someone reached 15 degrees without overclocking on 100% load dont know if true but he just droped lots of ice in a big container and used an powerful aquarium pump + a big car radiator

kamhagh · Mar 13, 2014

BTW thanks

why don't just put pc outside on winters ! it gets around -15 degrees

lol and use a water cooling too

water will always be like ice !

kamhagh :

Haha not a bad idea, Just have to make sure I don't freeze while I'm using it lol

Spectre694 · Mar 13, 2014

kamhagh :

Haha ya I am with you water cooling is just more fun but kinda expensive. The 212 is a great choice though you should see 5 or more at load and idle especially if you decide to OC.

I don't think I have seen that exact one but I have seen one where they run the tubing though a fridge to cool it. Always interesting what people come up with.

xD next winter, our house has a water warming :! i mean radiators i will just use our houses Pump and some tubing so i will warm house with my pc and at same time cool my pc ! xD

btw i was thinking of also buying a motherboard but im afraid i will damage my cpu and motherboard while connecting cables (pushing) and when puting cpu in socket

There should be a sticky here that will walk you though the process building is not as hard as people make it out to be.

im always like that, too afraid to do anything first time!

but anyway the bracers that prevent electric shock are not available here, is it ok to just use Glue and a simple wire ?!

btw i made all my system myself , chosed parts, everything, expect the vendor installed cpu and rams for a test (it didn't had guaranty )
so i let him do it becasue if it didn't work he couldn't blame me !
and when i touch an led and connect the "-" part of led to a battery led turns on ! im supposed to be ground! anyway it gets dim when sitting

just touching the case as much as possible especially before picking up components works too

How much can i Overclock with this custom water cooling? (is that good?)
