Water cooling upgrade

[Merryginal]

Hi, so I would like to upgrade my air cooler for a water cooler but I dont really know anything about it especially the fact that I would like to buy a water cooling for this cpu :

And switch later to water cool like this one (at least going from AMD to Intel) :

I dont even know if I can do that, right now my case can be a bit hot and Im really worried about heat...even if its nothing I would like to go for it.

Anyone having an idea on which one could be good to pick ?

Thanks !
PS: I dont have any price range actually. And here is my case (for dimensions) :

If it's just the cpu, a good AIO (from Corsair for example) would be enough. It might also be able to fit both the cpu sockets on two different motherboards. I'm about to turn my chips for tea so someone else will probably provide the groundwork!

want to get into water cooling?
2 options:

Closed loops or All in one systems, they dont requiere any added maintenance over the loop, just a little clean on rad fins,
take a look:

Spoiler: AIO watercooling systems

and there are custom liquid or water cooling systems, they requiere more manintenance, bleed and also made by yourself or somebody, also you can add blocks for chillin' down VGA, motherboard and more!

Hi the54thvoid, thanks for the answer, I was thinking of AIO too, a custom water cooling would be too much for me right now.

Anyone having an idea on some good water cooling to aim for ? Maybe I should have post in "System Builder Advice" side of the forum...should I ?

edit: Ho thanks for the reply peche, like I said I thinking of AIO and not custom right now, the main heat coming from cpu, despite a good ventilation (4 fans) Im still worried somtimes but cpu and others are fine, its mainly due to heavy cpu usage I guess.

edit2: I think Im going to look into custom cooling the day I'll go for SLI or things like that.

Maybe this would be good for you:

A lot depends on your case and what sort of radiators it can support.

Thanks for the answer cadaveca, but wow 200$ for this, I dont have actual price range but still I was thinking about something around +/- 100$. Most of AIO Ive checked was around 100-120$, wasnt expecting going above that unless there is a real difference in performance ?

we are here to help each other lad... dont worry,

Aio's are excellent, i have one running on my system, Thermaltake Water 3.0 Pro,

also for further information you can take a watch to this:

How is your AIO or ScS water cooling doing !

Regards!

Ive checked the Thermaltake Water 3.0 Pro and it seems a LITTLE overpriced for me haha (around 400$ if it was the right one), in fact I live in canada and its not that hot like I was leaving in mexico or something, summer can be tough tho but still I dont think I need something that efficient to keep my cpu cold, I dont know...I think I didn't realized how pricy AIO could be.

Look at Corsair H110 then. I have one on my X99/5930K, works great. Should be able to find it on sale for around $100 or so. AIO cooling is all going to be $100-$200 here in Canada.

They shipped many 8350 w/ an AIO, and although the AIO was fairly decent, the oversized 120mm rad just wasn't enough for me on hot days (30c ambient).

Well Im looking at this one right now :

Looks like something I would buy, just need to read spec to be sure it can fit my current/next cpu !

Hoooo wasnt checking the right one at all (or it was in the wrong price ) look :

http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Produc...ion=Thermaltake+Water+3.0+pro&N=-1&isNodeId=1

the ultimate one sounds perfect and would fit in my case perfectly ! Thanks peche !

I would like to add that all CLCs (closed loop coolers) are AIOs, (All in One). But not all AIOs are CLC.
CLCs are sealed coolant systems while some AIOs are a pre-built and filled component system. EK Predator and Swiftech H140-X, H220-X & H240-X are component systems.
