Hi all,

I will be water cooling a rig for the first time soon on a new build. The CPU will be a 4790k and the MB will be the Gigabyte GA-Z97-SOC. What could you suggest for a simple, reliable, single fan/radiator unit? I'm looking at something like the Corsair Hydro Series CW-9060007-WW H60 High Liquid/Water CPU Cooler. I'm not looking to do any heavy overclocking but would like to get 5GHz out of the 4790k.

TIA for any help offered.

Mike

From what I've seen the new thermal conditions in the Devil's Canyon chips makes a fair difference. 5-5.5Ghz would be a reasonable aim (it would seem).

I have the original H100 and it has been marvelous. 2500K to 4.4Ghz.

You ask for a single radiator - if you can fit the H90 (which is a 140mm Fan) I think you'd get closer to your 5ghz.

Thanks for your reply. I was thinking that the stock i7 4790k chip goes 4.4 GHz turbo and 4 GHz straight that 5 wouldn't be such a stretch. You don't think 5 is reasonable?

Thanks for your reply. I have to do some measuring but I think my case has 120's. The AnandTech chart is a big help. Many thanks.

Just wanted to let you know that the 4790K did hit 5.0 for me on the closed loop water cooling: http://valid.canardpc.com/kwdk5m. I hit 5.1, but not stable at all yet.

Thanks for your input, it looks like a great CPU so far
