Under £40 ($63) water cooling (CPU only)? (Overclock Pentium G3258 to 4.5GHZ)

Clellan · Nov 29, 2014

Hi so I am planing to build a Mini-itx system and I was wondering if there were any under £40 (allowing a little over budget if needed) water cooling products that would allow me to overclock the Pentium G3258 (to roughly 4.5GHZ) in a Corsair 380T case using the MSI B85I motherboard.

Thanks in advanced for any help!

Nope, sorry for short answer but its a nope at that price, even the 'reasonable' performing allinones start at around a ton iirc http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cooler-Master-Seidon-Radiator-Liquid/dp/B00AZQYA0A
only way around that is to build a loop yourself from parts you modify, but that'll still cost one way or another

Thanks anyway.

I'd just get a CM Hyper 212 EVO as an air cooler if you're looking for a cheap cooler.

Do you know how high it is from the board/if it fits?

http://www.coolermaster.com/cooling/cpu-air-cooler/hyper-212-evo/ Specs tab says 159Mm, and http://www.overclock3d.net/reviews/cases_cooling/corsair_graphite_380t_review/1 Max cooler height is 150Mm, Either source a lower cooler or get the dremel out on your sidepanel

Some useful options here

Thanks, to all of you with suggestions, I did some looking around (admittedly I had to look through google) and I found firstly a comparison between the 212 evo and seidon 120v
(Idle/full load)
212 EVO- 1 fan- 30/64
212 EVO- 2 fan- 30/60
120V - 1 fan- 30/59
120v - 2 fan- 29/57
from here, secondly the seidon 120V is just inside my price range at £39.99, and the last thing is I found a youtube video of someone overclocking the Pentium G3258 to 4.7ghz with the 212 evo, which means I should be able to OC my CPU.

Thanks for all of your help!

I'm glad you found something man but I would warn you to at least mod in another 120 Rad when you can, to give yourself headroom, I don't like the idea much of you clocking on that, and make sure you put a fan on each side of the rad to maximise your cooling power, happy trails man and let us know how the clocking goes
