so i got a old but gold rig (wel for me its new and exciting haha)

its a asus p6t SE flashed to a p6t with a xeon x5675 overclocked to 4.6 ghz right now (atm stil tweaking it)

it sadly sometimes thermal throttles i run a antec mecury 360mm aio right now and it was good enough for my 4690k when i bought the cooler back then.  but now i am looking for a upgrade

since i got a older socket not all the newest aio's would work right?

in terms of case restrictions. i got a define r6. so pretty much limitless in terms of sizes. it can accept up to 420mm. but i'm quite lost on what all to get.

a 420mm or a 240mm thicker one. hence why i am askin it here since i'm a beginner in terms of water coolers 

my budget for a AIO would be max 175/200 euros

thank you in advance for your advices

LGA 1366 has the same mounting as the modern 2011-3 and 2066 so you're good there

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

That not fully water cooling it offical is water cooling when you fully use cpu to gpu and have pump as aio are just not that better than fan cooler as allot cant push more as they arent custom as fully water cooling.

look i'm not intrested into doing fully custom loops. yet.

i'm the type of guy to rearrange the entire pc once a month or something.

all i'm looking for is a aio thats better to what i have right now to keeping temps in the hand.
