Hey Tom's Hardware! So I am overclocking my CPU and would like to have lower temps. Currently running my CPU @ 1.38v and getting 4.5 Ghz and after a couple hours on Prime95 my temps start approaching 60C. I am running a Cooler Master Seidon 120M now and I feel like a 240mm radiator would do the job the best. My problem is that I just don't know what type of cooler to go with? I like my Seidon(other than one screw mount partially stripping,user error) and was considering getting the 240M version of the Seidon. I just want to see what the preferences are out there. I don't plan on running anything on this water loop other than the CPU so it can be closed loop if it will perform well enough. That being said, I am perfectly happy with a custom loop if the price is right, just not sure who to really trust for custom loops since I have yet to build one. Any input would be awesome! Thanks guys!
Looking for a decent 240mm radiator liquid cooler for FX8350.

There is nothing wrong with max temps of 60c. I wouldn't mess with it, but if you do the Antec Kuhler 1250 and Corsair H100i / H105 is where I would look. They both are reported to keep cooler temps than the Seidon 240m (although you would probably be happy with any of them).
Thanks! I was actually looking at the H105 as the other option to the Seidon 240M. My main concern is that if I try to get to 4.6-4.7 Ghz that my temps will climb too high. Just going from 4.4 to 4.5 i noticed a jump in temp of about 8 degrees on the CPU and 11 degrees on the MOBO.
