Hey, 

      I just wanted ask you guys on what water cooler you would get to get a high overclock on I7 -4790k?

 

Swifttech H220X?

CPU: Intel Core I74790k

In theory any 280mm AIO should perform better because it has more radiator surface area. I'd get the Nepton 280L or Kraken X61.

Best to do a custom loop. But if you wanna buy an AIO, h220>240L>X60>h110.

They even have 360 Radiators available if you are truly looking for the best.

 

In terms of 240/280, look into the X61 or H220X.

 

X61 cannot be added to, but the H220X can be turned into a full loop if you so desire.

Build a custom loop or use a high-end air cooler. The only thing you get by using a CLC is the risk of leaks.

In my opinion a H100i works great, on performance profile it can withstand an 3770k@4.8 GHz and keep it under 80 degrees, but of course that the airflow in your case and ambient temperature matters.

 

 

And with some ice I was able to reach 5.3 GHz  :D

Yeah, that looks like a real good long term solution to me. :P

Is this your H100i's response to the ice bucket challenge?  :lol:

If you want to be ridiculous, buy a thermal exchange case (Prometeia Mach2 GT). The temperatures can reach -45 Celsius. Yeah, negative.

 

If you don't want to spend $3000, then look at this list, and choose accordingly.

Custom loop for best result or a 360mm AIO cooler like the Thermaltake Water 3.0 Ultimate or Swiftech H320. That should keep your cpu ice cold.
