Cooler Master MasterLiquid 240

I'm currently using a Coolermaster Master air heatsink for my intel 4790k. Basically my issue is that its too big and it seems like its not really cooling my CPU very well like my old deepcool aio. I was considering the Cooler Master MasterLiquid 240 due to having a Coolermaster Maker 5 case.. The other option would be to go after a Corsair AIO or a Be Quiet Dark Rock TF.

Don't get the Masterliquid. An air cooler of similar price or a more expensive AIO will outperform it.

Performance should be about the same as any other 240mm AIO, build quality is borderline on them.

They're fine/cheap

Currently looks like the EVGA 240 is the way to go at $90

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

Either those or the EVGA CLC 280 Liquid that Streetguru recommended with the Noctua fans

So the EVGA 240 or 280...I'd get the 280.

So I ended up purchasing a Corsair H110i due to having gift certs at Bestbuy. Would it be overkill to run the radiator in a push pull config with 4 Noctua fans? I have it currently set up for push with the two Noctua Fans I currently have.

It can help maintain cooling if you're running the fans at very low rpm for low noise but is otherwise a waste of money.

I have the ML240L RGB, it's hard to beat at $50 but I can answer any Q's if you wanted background knowledge since you bought something else.

 

What temps are you getting with the push setup?
