i5 750 liquid cooling

[tismanasou]

Hi guys i want to overclock my i5 750 to 4.0Ghz, thus i need need liquid cooling, i was thinking to buy COOLERMASTER SEIDON 120V V3 PLUS. They are compatible, but will i have any problems with heating? Is this liquid cooler enough? Its on sale (64euro) so i really need a fast answer. Also if its not enough, how much hertz can i push it with this liquid cooler?

Is the space in your case very limited or something? Because a 120mm AIO isn't much better than something like a Hyper 212, so probably stick to a Hyper 212 or GAMMAX 300

Maybe just upgrade the fan to like a Fractal Venturi HP-14 for better air pressure on it

Whether or not you're going to get to 4 GHz probably has as much to do with how lucky you were with your silicon as it does with your cooling.

 

Here's an article from 2009 where the writers were able to reach upwards of 4.2 GHz with an aftermarket air cooler:

I don't think its worth it to watercool such a low end chip tbh. Better to just save up for upgrade imo. You won't have any problems with temps if you decide to get it anyway. As for overclocking idk what you will be able to achieve.
