Hello everyone Zack here,

As the title says, I need some advice on a water cooler that can sustain my OC 5Ghz FX 8350 below 65C. The processor was Overclocked by the previous owner. I have not started to build yet, but I have bought all the components except the water cooler for the CPU. My current build is:

CPU: Overclocked FX 8350 at 5Ghz
CPU cooler:???
Mobo: Sabertooth 990FX r2.0
RAM: Ripjaws X series 4x4Gb
Gra Card: Asus HD 7970
PSU: GX 650w
Case: Zalman Z11 Plus HF1

I live in a country with a temperature around 6C to 18C. I am looking at a XSPC raystorm 750 EX120 watercooling kit or Corsair H80i as for some reason a 240mm radiator will not fit into the z11 case due to 'Not Compatible' stated from PCPartpickers. So, I am limited to a 120mm radiator. I don't mind the noise level as I already have another 'jet-engine' in my room.

Could a noctua nh d15 work for you? The noctua is on par with corsair h110, so I doubt a smaller closed loop cooler will be sufficient. Or you could get a new case that fits a 280mm like the h110i gtx.
