Thread: Components question

What about this? I have no idea on water cooling, but would it be worth it to OC an i5, and will it even work on an i5?

Newegg.com - CORSAIR CWCH60 Hydro Series H60 High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler

It will; the i5 is socket LGA 1155, and that cooler will work on "AMD AM2, AMD AM3, Intel LGA 1155, Intel LGA 1156, Intel LGA 1366, Intel LGA 775."

The only issue I've heard mentioned is the size of the radiator; mounting it could be an issue in some cases. I believe some of the TPG regs use that or one of the other Corsair liquid coolers.

This just in...I will be building a new PC before the official release of BF3. I can't even play the damn game on my old PC.

LOL, no, it has to do with I have been busting my ass in Chicago, Missouri, and Kansas for the last 3-4 months, and I deserve it.

I have the H100. I don't know about the H60, but the radiator on the H100 (a 120mmx240mm) is actually a little bigger than advertised. You might want to replace the fan that comes with it. I'm using the Aerocool sharks since they have a very nice balance of airflow:dBa levels.

If you're getting that Cosmos 1000 case, which is the one I think Heavy has, you might have room for a H100 actually.

Also, get this
Newegg.com - Antec FORMULA 7 Nano Diamond Thermal Compound

Can you guys open this?

If so any feedback? I can get the CPU at MC and save about $40, and I am probably going to get that case from Rumble.

It keeps saying that I'm viewing an empty wish list.

Edited, try now.

i see it
