Hi all, I need advice on two questions which is as follows: 1. CPU to use for my system as my friend has a spare I7-2600K and I7-2700K and he said that is it better for my current pc as it can be overclocked or stay with I7-3770 non K. (i use to have a I7-3770K which was running on high temps and died because of reason below) 2. Which is the best way to setup H115i. eg front,top (the reason he is giving is confusing me as i feel that it should be top mounted to reduce the chance of bubbles going into the pump which happend to my old H110- the comuter shop tech found out which offered me a free I7-3770 non K and i decided to changed my H110 to a H115i as they said the pump maybe damaged) My current setup is as follows: CPU: Intel I7 3770 non K Motherboard: MSI Z77A-GD65 CPU cooler: Corsair H115i with ML140 PRO LED Blue 140mm x 2 (currently top mounted pull configuration) Memory: Corsair Vengeance 4 x 4GB (16GB) 1600Mhz Graphic Card: Palit Jetstream GTX680 4GB Graphic Card cooler: Accelero Twin Turbo III SSD: Samsung 850 pro 1TB Storage: Western Digital Black 2TB Sound card: Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Champion Series Power supply: Seasonic X-750 Gold Fans: ML140 PRO LED Blue 140mm x 3 Casing: Nzxt H440 please kindly advice me and i applogise for my bad english and i am kind of new too this...took me awhile to type everything haha.
