3770K - Maximus V Extreme - Which CPU HeatSync/Fan? [OC]

[arzbhatia]

Guys,
I'm getting the Maximus V Extreme and I already have the 3770K. Which CPU thermal/cooler/fan will be the best if I want to OC upto say.. 4.7Ghz? or 5?

I have a 700w PSU and a Corsair Carbide 500r (4 fans included, 3 140mm, 1 200mm I think).

 

[arzbhatia]

Bump!

 

[amuffin]

Don't bump.


Do you have a budget?


If you want to hit 4.5ghz+ You're going to need a custom watercooling loop.

Sorry! I have to order in some time so needed help quick.

How much would that cost?

Will that be enough?

 

[amuffin]

Rasa kit is the best option.

Thanks regina, muffin.

Anything below 100$?

 

[arzbhatia]

And anything besides water cooling? Too complicated for me I guess.

Great! I can get the noctua one. I hope it won't block my RAM slot on PCI-E slot?

Also, how is the Xigmatec Prime SD1484?

If you don't have low profile ram it might not work and no Xigmatec Prime is not very good

+1 but i am not sure he wants to make sure it won't block his RAM slot on PCI-E slot?

That]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835709001

That one is one of the top three heatsinks in the world

Just remove the first fan to access the RAM slot.


The whole point is just to install and let it go, not to keep tweaking around and reinstalling and disassembling parts.

I have this RAM (8x2) and the same (4x2), taking up all 4 ram slots (24gb), will the Phantek fan interrupt?

 

[amuffin]

No.
