92c° on air cooling, worth it to go water?

Go push-pull with good fans if you want to get good temps.

 

Maybe some more case fans as well 

I wonder if 220CFM 120mm Delta fans would be advisable for the rad in that situation.

Keep in mind that an AIO cooler isn't going to make a huge difference. It still depends on air cooling in the end. It just takes a lot longer to level off.

Just got it stable at 4,637Ghz at 1,475v I will still try to get it lower and yesterday I hit a single core frequentie of 4,799Ghz what is insane at all cores it booted up but crashed in the bios... after a few tries it went into windows but crashed instantly.

ok great, that looks good

 

please keep in mind performance IS affected by the uncore speed. I can run 4.75ghz at lower uncore multiplier, but my GFLOPS remains the same as 4.5ghz with higher uncore speed.

That's what people told me until I found out 99.9% of workloads that aren't synthetic tests will not reach that "cap" temperature, ever, and it gets rid of the heat pretty quick.

id pick up some used watercooling parts, you can get a basic CPU loop for pretty cheap

If you're running Prime95 or something then it's going to reach that level sooner, but a couple hours of CPU intensive gaming will do it too.  The real benefit to an AIO cooler is that it doesn't have to rely on other fans pushing/pulling out the hot air.  It goes straight outside the case.

Like I just said, CPU intensive gaming... Would battlefield 1 count? an 8 hour run on battlefield, match after match after match got it to 64C @1.425v, and Aida64 after 24 hours gets it to 80C.

Interesting.  Did you keep something like HWMonitor running in the background, or did you measure after the match?

I ran CPUID Hwmonitor in the background, and I also have CAM software open for my Cooler's lighting which shows me my peak, and average temperatures, of which the averages were around 57C in Battlefield 1, and 62C in GTA 5.
