Hi all,

I'm looking for some advice.

I'm looking at getting a cpu watercooler probably a Corsair AIO or an expandable AIO like one of the Fractal Kelvin. (I can't really afford to go to custom watercooling).

I can get a H75 basically for free as I have some pcworld vouchers. I know that it's not the best.

My other options would be the H100i v2 / H110i or the Kelvin S24 (waiting till next month to keep the wife happy)

My current setup is:
MSI Z87-G45 motherboard
Intel i5 4670k processor
Asus R9 270x 2GB Graphics card
2 x 8GB dual gskil ripjaws ram
Windows 10
120GB SSD Boot Drive
128GB SSD Programs / Games
1tb HDD storage
Blu-ray writer
850W Novatech Black v2 modular psu
Fractal Design Define R5 Case

Main parts were built by myself 18 months - 2 years ago into a Zalman Z11+ case but transfered into the R5 last week with the watercooling in mind.

I have alway built my own and do a new one every 3-4 years at approximately £800-£1000 without any peripherals so would like the cooling system to migrate to a new rig when I do it.

I have been running the stock Intel cpu fan up till now with no overclock but would like to look into doing a modest to high overclock.

What would people recommend?

Thanks
 
Solution
NZXT Kraken x61
the corsair 100 or 110 would ofc be fine
and even air coolers can be better than the H75, even more so if only doing a modest overclcok

the NZXT Kraken will allow you more than a modest overclock, and still be reasonably quiet
but your choices are fine too, just remember even Air coolers can do better than h75
tho, free cooler is free cooler i suppose..
