Just to be sure

You only need to look the water block for your cpu. I highly wouldn't go with water cooling. It adds a TON more maintenance, and it's not worth the extra cost.

Most water cooling AIO's (All-in-one's) are pretty universal, they have the materials for you to mount either onto an AMD mobo as well as an Intel one. If you have a common socket like an AM3+ or an LGA1150 I wouldn't worry. It depends on old old the water cooler is though. Also heard 120mm water cooling AIO's pretty much have nearly zero difference to a cheap air cooler,  then again, everyone's experience is different.

When buying watercooling look if your case and processor are compatible with it.

dont know what motherboard u got some tips?

Depends what you want from your motherboard. The Asus Z170-A and Asus Z170 Pro Gaming are an entry point for a very good motherboard and don't cost a fortune. If you want more than that go with the Maximus VIII Hero. Personally if i was going for a 6700K I wouldn't cheap on the motherboard and get the Maximus VIII Hero.

Funny since it makes sense a rad that small wouldn't do jack worth a difference vs. a stock Intel cooler, the only decent small performing aftermarket water coolers I know of are 140mm (Like that one NZXT Kraken cooler ) Not surprised but I figure the H80i is more of a decoration to you now, eh?

im starting to hate the H80i to be honest, it starts to make a noise from the pump, now when the warranty is over ... I will NEVER recomend a water system to anyone. For me the air cooler is still the KING.

More features, better overclocking, looks better, RGB Republic of Gamers logo which you can change color with software, supports higher RAM speed, BIOS flashback button so if you corrupt your BIOS you can easily flash a new BIOS, Q-Code which displays 2 digit errors if something is wrong with your motherboard, better audio and more.

Just stick this bad boy in there and never think about watercooling again lmao

 

Watercooling is efficient if done right, just you need to pick your poison carefully, in my experience, never pick anything below a 140mm radiator.

Also, in all seriousness OP, I don't know if you have difficulty typing, but try to spell properly before you submit a reply or a post. Been looking at your previous threads and you seem to have an affinity to ... text talk. Its hard to help someone if they are being vague and/or cannot spell

Never can go wrong with anything Noctua. They even have an 80mm fan that is apparently very quiet (I have no idea how they perform that witchery.)

^ Here's a decent list of big tower style coolers, this guy might help you pick one out. I just am bias towards the Dark Rock Pro 3 since the thing looks beastly and performs as well as my H100i
