Hi there, I've been planning a build for a while.
And I've been considering getting a Corsair H110 Watercooling System to cool an i5 4690K Processor in a Corsair 750D case.
I'm going to be reusing an old ASUS GTX 660 Direct CU II OC Edition 2GB GDDR5 for the Graphics Card.
But I am curious.
I've chosen Watercooling because of a multitude of reasons:
- I don't want to have to attach a massive block of heat-conductive metal to the Motherboard. I fear the weight and the effect of gravity will eventually catch up to me and it'll either fall out or crush the CPU.
- I want to have full access to the RAM slots, and many of the quality Air Cooling units in fact are so large that they block the RAM sockets.
- I wish to overclock at a later date and water-cooling seems to be generally better for this.
- I don't want to deal with dust collecting in the heat sink directly on top of the CPU, cause clearing it out is a pain in the ass and would prefer cleaning just the easily accessed radiator.
However I want to know how much more effective Watercooling is than the Stock Cooler.
How much cooler will it keep the CPU before I start overclocking the processor than the Stock Cooler would pre-OCing the CPU?
