Hi All!
I was using a Corsair H50 for a long time, but now I need the fan at 100% to keep CPU temperatures in the 55-60 range while gaming... I'm not sure if the unit is not working properly anymore or if the thermal paste is not sitting well, but I want to finally install a custom liquid cooling set up for both my CPU and GPU. I just bought a Nanoxia Deep Silence 5 case and a liquid cooling system will complement it well.
I tried looking over the forums, but most of the threads were very specific/narrow. Can anyone advise what would work best and where I can purchase the components? I'm looking to try and keep it around $300 and preferibly something that will work with future upgraded CPU/GPUs. I am out of my element with liquid cooling...
Current System:
- Intel i7-3770k (OC @ 4.0Ghz)
- Gigabyte GTX 970 G1
- 180GB Intel 520 SSD
- 1TB WD Black 7200 RPM
- MSI 277A-G41
- 16GB 1600 G.Skill Ripjaws X Series
- Soundblaster X-Fi Titanium HD
- Nanoxia Deep Slience 5
- ASUS ROG SWIFT PG278Q
