Or buy a brand new 240mm AIO for $75 that doesn't have mounting problems, a noisy pump, or buggy software. Cooler Master Seidon 240M on Newegg.com

What would be the Temps for max load on an i7 4790k at stock speeds

If it is working properly?  It depends on the application used to load the i7-4790k as well as what overclock settings are being used.

 

Please quote or "@" someone to know that you have responded.  The Cooler Master Seidon 240M has the same exact specs as the H100i, so they will perform the exact same, if not better with the Seidon because it has square fans with higher static pressure.  But for the most part, they are equal performance wise.  I recommend the Seidon 240M because I use one myself, and I have zero problems with it.  Whereas people with H100is are constantly complaining of high temperatures because of poor mounting pressure, a noisy pump, or buggy fan control software. Not everyone has problems with the H100i, but enough people do that it needs to be mentioned to anyone considering it.  On this forum alone we average one H100i problem question per day between the Troubleshooting, Water Cooling, and CPU section of the forum.

 

$75 for a brand new AIO compared to $65 for a used and somewhat problematic AIO?

@Faceman How is the temp under rendering without over clock on i7 4790k

@Faceman How is the temp under rendering without over clock on i7 4790k

You can check out my Review With Statistics of my i5-4670k using the Seidon 240M.

 

Cinebench is going to most closely resemble rendering results.  The 4790k does 4.4Ghz @ 1.2v, but it has 8 threads.  So in my testing, I was getting a high of 59C, with an average of 54.5C when fans are at 50%(1200rpm).

 

Again, there are a lot of variables in play.  What are your ambient temperatures, what speed will you be running the fans at, what does your i7 require at stock settings, some do 1.2v, others go as high as 1.3v at stock.
