Basic CPU cooling build

[Pipit213]

Title says it all. What would be a suitable water cooling build if CPU is running at about 4.5-5 GHz. Aesthetics are not a problem but sound is.

Note: Case is a NZXT phantom 630 so max radiator size would be 360mm

I may have said the above strangely but what I am looking for is a bunch of water cooling parts for a custom loop to hit 4.5-5GHz. This is only for the CPU

H100i.

Misread your post. Hitting 5GHz will take a good luck of the draw, particularly at low voltages.

If you are seriously planning on getting a stable 5ghz, either you have to get REALLY lucky, or you have to build a custom loop, even then it's still a gamble. 4.5 you can hit with almost any descent cooler and descent CPU.

What is your CPU?

What CPU?

4.5Ghz is a common overclock so you should be alright with any decent air cooler or AIO coolers. 

 

5.0Ghz is more uncommon and will require you to have a good CPU and a good cooler, air coolers will not cut it. You will most likely need a custom loop to have decent temps.

3770K for those saying

Would go for a custom loop for sure if your overclocking to 5ghz with a 3770k

I would reccommed putting a alphacool xt45 360mm rad at the top with nf-f12s
