Hello there, so recently I've been looking around for Watercooling budget type if you will...
And I've come to the decision to buy the CoolerMaster Seidon 120V for my CPU I7-3770 because it's running at 70-65 while gaming and I'm wondering if the Seidon is good enough to drop it like 30 or even 25 when gaming, I don't care if it's noisy much if it's performing well then I'm good to go!
(Also do you guys recommend Overclocking with this?)
Thanks for your Help, always appreciated! :)

That's an excellent drive. The PM871 SSD in my signature is basically an OEM variant of the 850 EVO in mSATA form factor, and I couldn't be happier with it.
There is no way you will hit 25c, which is 77 Fahrenheit, while gaming. 70c is already a relatively good temperature for that CPU.

I probably say this in excess of 20 times per day, 80-90c is perfectly acceptable, normal, and safe for an Intel CPU to run at. There will be absolutely zero advantage of lowering your CPU's operating temperature, because even at the temps it's currently running at, it will long outlast every other component in your PC.
