Hello all,
Recently I have been updating the look and color scheme of my rig.
I am currently using a Hyper212 EVO with 2 red LED fans.
I am considering swapping to water cooling for my 8350 for the following reasons:
The 212 Evo was cool at first, but after seeing it all the time it just has become ugly to me.
(It cools my FX 8350 very well already running a 4.5Ghz OC, no complaints with its cooling capability. )
Looking for a smaller CPU cooler that goes along with my Red/Black colors. (I do have a NZXT H440)
I see corsair has there h80i, h100i etc that include the Red LED option, but I am also seeing this with the NZXT Kraken X41.
Basically at this point, I am weighing the options and prices.... I would like to OC more to around 4.7 or 4.8Ghz if possible with these coolers...
So basically I am just unsure of which brand to go with since I am basically a newbie of water cooling.
Corsair or NZXT? I have read that the program associated with the Corsair coolers is quite buggy/glitchy and doesn't always detect, while with the NZXT reviews I have seen some complaining about some stuff with the pump making sounds (But nothing horribly wrong)
Also, will radiator size make a big difference? I do want to try and go with the 140MM radiator if it will be good enough.
I have never used any sort of water cooling in a PC.... so any feedback would be appreciated.
I may end up not even going with water cooling, however I have been giving it alot of thought.
Thanks again,
