so as my CPU temperatures are getting high, i think it would be a good idea to by a AIO water cooler so i can lower the temperature and overclock my CPU.   so i have done some research and from what i can see this is the best AIO WC  https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00N93KG4A/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE  and also i was looking at this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-CW-9060020-WW-Extreme-Performance-Liquid/dp/B010NS1LVA/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1463072396&sr=1-1&keywords=corsair+water+cooling    not sure if they are as good as they say they are, or if there is a better solution at there.

 

Budget of £100

Thanks Cameron

Why the thermal paste? It comes with pre-applied paste and it is actually really nice

Saw a couple reviews saying thermal paste was not good, Always good to have extra anyways.

The Corsair water cooler is better, since it has a higher radiator to dissipate the heat. But the fans are shit, i had it, and I had to create a custom fan curve, they are loud.

so i would need to get new fans if i brought this

No, the paste is good, do you think that they would risk their product by putting cheap paste?

And to op, you don't need new fans, they work great, the stock fan profile is too aggressive IMO.

Anyways, I would get the Kraken X61 if budget allows it.

A couple members suggested the kracken and if he has 40 extra $ he should get it.
