Cooling Preferences FX-8350 Overclock

[flamehead269]

I am wanting to fix up my fx-8350 with A VERY nice cooler so I can overclock that thing like crazy.. I prefer the water cooling over that huge noctua famed nh-d14 so what would be a good water cooler for the cpu only?

Also, i have a CONSAIR 750 Bronze Efficiency, and I want to make sure I have enough room left for an overclock of up to 5.2 Ghz, of course I don't plan on making that my default clock I just want it to be able to shoot up to that maximum. So I will list my current build down below.. I ask that someone get an accurate amount of wattage it already uses.. and how much I can overclock up to with my current PSU..

Also verify with me if my case will take the suggested cooler

Suggested Cooler:

You won't get much performance difference with that aio watercooler over the Noctua NH-D14 or the Phanteks PH-TC14PE.
And yes, that psu is more than sufficient with the cpu overclocked, gpu overclocked, plus tons of hdds, fans, etc.
If you want water cooling, get a proper one, like a custom water cooling loop.

Yes but I heard those leak, and plus all i am overclocking is the CPU. The reason I am not doing the noctua is because I dont think itll fit over my high profile RAM and i dont want to spend $200 on low profile...

If you do it right, the risk is the same as the aio watercoolers or even less.
You can find some kits there : http://www.frozencpu.com/products/16891/ex-wat-219/XSPC_Raystorm_750_RS240_Extreme_Universal_CPU_Water_Cooling_Kit_New_Rev_4_Pump_Included_w_Free_Dead-Water.html?tl=g30c321

You can get more information in the overclocking section with the watercooling sticky there.
But if you really need a pre-assembled aio watercooler, i recommend looking for the Swiftech H220 : http://www.swiftech.com/h220.aspx
It wil be arriving soon to microcenter and other shops.
But an aircooler like the Noctua it's still a good option, it depends on what high profile ram do you have.
You can find if your ram is compatible with the cooler or not here : http://www.noctua.at/main.php?show=compatibility_ram_gen&products_id=34&lng=en

Idk if it fits, the h100i fits, but i'm not sure on the h110.
