Posted September 5, 2015 I think you are better off investing in a stronger CPU rather than water cooling.

Posted September 5, 2015 You have a Titan X and an 8320? wow. My 6100 bottlenecks an R9 280, I can only imagine what that Titan performs like. Please, get an i5 or wait for Zen, it (might) be enough to handle it...

Posted September 5, 2015 @IceWolfPuppies please follow your own topics. I would get a Cooler Master Nepton 240m. It is pretty cheap, performs better then a Corsair H100i (H100i GTX cools better but is noisier), and is DEAD QUIET.... i mean, those Silencio fans. God damn mate. They are on par with Noctua NFF12's with Low Noise Adapters.... Personally i used a NZXT X60, which is fantastic at cooling. But it is very expensive.

Posted September 5, 2015 it can be cheaper but as powerful as an i5. you never know bud thats a fair point. but with the rumors about the cores ime not impressed. its the 8XXX all over again they just want to have loads of cores. but they perform terribly. they just dont concentrate on what matters which is why ile always stick to Intel My Personal PC 'Apex' https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/LiamBetts123/saved/3rTNnQ Intel Core i9 9900k, ASUS Z390-A, RTX 2080TI, Meshify C, HX 850i, 32GB Gskill Trident Z RGB @ 3200MHZ, 500GB NVME, 500GB SSD & 2 x 4TB Baracudas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 5, 2015 Should I go from amd to intel???? If you can afford to do so, it'd be a good move given your graphics setup. But your original question still stands -- and it's pretty piss poor that only one member actually addressed it. Since most AIOs have mounting hardware for both AMD and Intel sockets -- I think EK's recent introduction is the only one that doesn't -- the earlier recommendation of the Nepton 240 should be a good option whether you stay with AMD or go with Intel. Really most any AIO on the market right now that has a 240mm radiator should suffice -- the fans that come with them are mostly what is going to vary between options, with some having better and/or more silent fans than others. A 240mm radiator should allow whatever option you select, however, to run the fans at lower RPMs and still keep the temperatures well within what is considered reasonable.

Posted September 6, 2015 It was not addresed by all of us because that money is better spent elsewhere. Which is like pushing someone to buy a new car when all they need is to have their HVAC or cooling system repaired. If the OP has no plans to upgrade, then pushing him to upgrade or saying "the money is better spent elsewhere" is more condescending than helpful.
