AIO CPU Water cooler

[panzerK]

Today, I was playing CS:GO and saw that my frames weren't going over 450 FPS with my i7-4790K(not overclocked) and GTX 970(overclocked). I was completely infuriated(Jokes). Seriously though, I've noticed that the computer has gotten louder and not cooler at all, sitting 50 degrees idle with a Hyper 212 EVO.

 

I've recently built a G3258 build and overclocked it and saw the performance improvements in games, not just CS:GO, and in desktop usage too. 

 

So I decided that I'm going to overclock the CPU + (and also in order to overclock it) buy a new cooler to possibly reduce noise and temperature. 

 

I have an Asus Maximus 7 Hero motherboard inside a Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 case. I've heard the H100i is loud, and for the money, compared to the 212 Evo, doesn't make up for the performance. Previously I've looked into the x61 Kraken. Will the x61 Kraken fit in my computer?

 

However, I also think that the x61 Kraken is on the more expensive side. Does the performance make up for its cost?

Any other suggestions?

50 degrees idle definitely isn't right. My brother has a rig with an FX-6300 running off a 212 EVO and it barely hits 50 under load.

i run a 212 evo on a 4690k thats oc`ed slightly to 4.1 ghz, stock in a hot room in sitting at around 33 degrees and under load i dont think ive seen it hit 70 degrees in gaming yet, the only time ive seen it in the 70`s is when doing prime 95 (yes ik its bad thats why i dont use it anymore) either way, try applying new thermal paste and see if that helps or check to se if theres any dust built up in the cooler

I've replaced the thermal compound today(forgot to mention that) and checked that there was no dust. I don't know what's going on, but 50 degrees idle is definitely wrong...

maybe its not mounted properly ?

It definitely is. Couple months ago I had temps of around 30 degrees at idle. I don't know what's happening now, and besides I'm going thinking to overclock the chip anyways. Any suggestions on compatible watercoolers?
