I have a Corsair 230T case and I want to liquid cool my i7-4770K. I am currently running 77 C at 4.0 GHz. In order to achieve this speed, I have to over volt to 1.215V. I am using the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO and the temps I am getting aren't where I'd like them to be... what should I do to increase my cooling performance? I've looked into the Corsair H100i and the Cooler Master Seidon 240M. Any suggestions?

looked at the corsair site, with a double rad you might have to mount at least the fans or the res on the outside of the case roof.

see this page as well for water: http://m.hardocp.com/article/2013/11/06/corsair_graphite_series_230t_compact_midtower_review/5#.U_uZzMVdW0I

it may just also be a case of the hot air not getting cycled out fast enough... maybe even try a cheap pair of fans to cycle more air in from the top to increase positive pressure , leave the back fan as exhaust, THEN drop money on a closed loop, or even a better air cooler... going to defer to others
