Should i do close loop water cooling?

[BlmMagic]

Im building a gaming pc. I have a gaming 5 motherboard and i7 4790k. They just got delivered. Ill be using a msi 980 ti that will get delivered tomorrow. I already had on my amd build a evo 212.. should i upgrade to a closed loop water cooling. This pc is for gaming mostly. Btw i also have a phanteks enthoo pro just delivered 2 days ago. So there is plenty room.

the 212 evo will do fina as long s you dont overclock. 

if you want overclock, get something like a h100i GTX

I have a closed loop on an i5 2500 non K at 3.8ghz and I can tell you that a double rad vs a 212 evo makes a major difference. My load temps on it are like 45 degrees at the same noise level

If you want it - get it.

It's not a must have or anything.

For the sake of gaming I don't think it will benefit in any meaningful way.

 

If anything I would actually consider one of those bloody huge passive heatsinks that have no fans

and then put a fan on it. if its okay passive, then active it would do great

If you want to overclock a little, or none use the 212, DO NOT USE IT PASSIVE, your CPU will run to hot. If you really want to overclock, then go grab a H100i, or H105

High end air or AIO is going to be enough cooling you will ever need really. You can shave off a few more degrees with a custom loop but you are talking about adding in hundreds more to the system with virtually no potential for and kind of extra performance. Just looks really.

Ive been itching to do custom loops but scared of leaks

Does the h100i gtx work good?

The h100i gtx, kraken x41 h105 are all really good 240mm AIO.

Yes it's the replace meant to the H100i. If you have room for it the H110i GTX is even better.
