I am looking to find a liquid cooling solution for my i7 4770k within a $115 price range (if there is something for like 130 or 140, do recommend that as I might continue to save up for them)
Here are my computer specs:
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant
CPU: Intel Core i7-4770K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor (Purchased For $0.00)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler ($29.98 @ OutletPC)
Thermal Compound: Arctic Silver 5 High-Density Polysynthetic Silver 3.5g Thermal Paste ($6.98 @ OutletPC)
Motherboard: Asus Sabertooth Z87 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($229.29 @ Newegg)
Memory: Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($154.99 @ Newegg)
Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 780 3GB WINDFORCE Video Card ($495.91 @ Newegg)
Case: Cooler Master HAF X ATX Full Tower Case ($139.99 @ Newegg)
Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply ($89.98 @ SuperBiiz)
Other: Ubuntu Linux ($0.00)
Total: $1125.12
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available
I am getting about 31c-33c on idle and about 36-55c on load (this is with all fans running at full)
I do plan on overclocking (hence the reason I got a unlocked cpu) and I live in Maine so it is quite hot during this time of year and then it is a tundra the rest of the time and I may be moving to florida to a liquid cooling solution would be the best in terms of keeping temps low.
