Switch custom loop? (high temps H80i)

[MrTiC]

As stated in the topic title: should i switch to a custom loop ?

 

Problem is that i have verry high tempratures at overclocking my cpu.

 

CPU: I7-3770K

Motherboard: Asus Z77 Sabertooth

Cooler: Corsair H80i (push/pull)

 

Clocks/temps:

 

- 4.4Ghz @70-75° (current stable OC and temps that im ok with)

- 4.5Ghz @800gtGamer-85° (stable but high temps)

- 4.6Ghz @8521546-90° (stable but high temps)

- 4.7Ghz @8521546-90° (stable but high temps)

Didnt go higher due to even higher temps!

Question is would a custom loop lower the temps by alot so i could achieve higher clocks ? 

This is would only be for the CPU and if so what parts/brands i should go with ?

Why custom loop? just get a 2x120/140mm radiator? double surface area, and way lower temps. Take a Look at the H220 from Swifttech

I think this SHOULD do fine for you..

What are your voltages? Maybe those are way to high so your cooler gets all the unnecesarry work? You could try remounting the H80i block so that you have better contact to the cpu.

Yes, you could achieve higher clocks because you are "no more" limited to heat, but you are always limited by the chip itself.

Yes you will get lower temps with a good custom loop.

 

There is alot of good watercooling parts out there, i recommend EK, XSPC, Aquacomputer, Swiftech.

As for tubing you should go for Tygon =)

 

Edit: Ill just add that you can go for a EK kit or XSPC, the kit includes everything you need. They aren't so expensive, so i would recommend that over a Corsair H-Series easily.

Voltage's start from 1.24 for the 4.4GHz to 1.36 for the 4.7GHz, those are all stable but temps are just high.

Also ive remounted the block and cleaned it + reaplied thermal paste so thats not the issue.

So basicly the H80i isnt sufficient enough.

Took a look at the swiftech H220 but does it preform better then for example the corsair H100 ?

Want temps between 70 - 85° or lower at highest possible clock.

If the swiftech H220 or a corsair H100 wouldnt be suffient enough for the temps i want i would go custom, altough i would need another case cause its pretty cramped already (HAF XB).

But i prefer prefilled unless the performance is shite
