Water cooling

[jonwong966]

For my second of build, I want to watercool the CPU for overclocking. I don't know if u should use a all in one water loop, or I should make my own water loop.

My cooling budget is about $200 USD

h115i is a good cooler to let you overclock your cpu.

+1 on that

200 dollars is not really enough for a custom loop. I'm going to go with an AIO.

I'd also say to go with the H115i.

Corsair is never a bad choice, but any 2x 120mm or 2x 140mm cooler that has good reviews and you like the look of will handle overclocking of that CPU just fine.

 

That being said, you could look at the EK Predator. Its an expandable AIO so if you ever wanted to add another radiator and a gpu to the loop, you can, and it's under 200 for the 240mm model.

For $200 it might be better to get an AIO. A good pump for a custom loop can cost up to $100 alone plus the cost of a high performance CPU block would already put you over budget.

I'd say get a decent AIO water cooler. I recommend the Corsair H115i, just put some better fans on it (Corsair's new ML pro series fans are AWESOME). If they are like the fans that came with my H80i, they are loud AF.

I'd also like to do a custom loop for my PC, but it is not necessary for the hardware I'm currently packing.
