Bit overkill I believe if you only plan on cooling your CPU. Rule of thumb: 240mm/component. With that setup you're going for the double of rad space. Perhaps save on the rad space and get a D5 pump? I've got no experience, but from what I've read D5 is quieter and stronger. So if you want to upgrade in the future, you won't have to change pumps. Read this, radiator section.

 

Good luck.

Custom liquid cooling:

EK DDC X-Top w/ 3.25 PWM DDC Pump - Acetal (EK-DDC 3.25 PWM X-TOP CSQ - Acetal)

Mayhems X1 Coolant Premix - 1L - UV Red

 

 

Thanks!

The comfortable clearance in the top of the 750D is 80mm. Only a 360mm will fit provided you aren't using the 5.25" drive bays. The PE series from EK is high fpi, which means you'll have to run the fans at high rpm to get the best performance. I propose some changes. 360mm Alphacool XT45, Primochill Advanced LRT tubing, clear (you already have colored coolant).

@ItxCrow - Don't think any AIO manufactuor makes a red AIO unit, you may need to go custom loop for that one. Try frozencpu.com , they have heaps of color themed stuff there.

 

@isaacbaker64 - Bud i think you made need to pull the cpu block off and reapply some paste and stick it back down. make sure you clean the cpu and block first.

 

If that still isn't working, bump the fan speed up. If it's still high after that, jump into corsair link after that and see what your pump speed is. If its lower than 2000rpm, you may want to contact the place you bought it from and consider RMA.

 

AIO are not much better than the best air units about.

You and me both, I'm having trouble finding any rad at a good price that fits my case.

The rule of thumb is not 240 per component,its 240 for the CPU and 120 for each additional block,mobo and ram are 120 combined.

 

 

Half your heat issues are resulting from using auto OC,it always overvolts for clocks attained.

 

Try a manual OC instead....

Hello! I just saw a review of the EK Coolstream pe 360 and maybe that will help you as well.. you do not need high RPM fan for it from what I saw here:

but I may be wrong (please let me know if I am as I am thinking about getting that with some noctua fans :) )
