Good Cooler for OCing?
Good Cooler for OCing?
So I'm building a black and white PC soon and I need a good cooler which also looks nice.
I'm thinking of starting off with a hyper 212 evo (I won't over clock to start with), simply as its cheap and gets the job done. But then I'd like to move onto a better and nicer cooler and maybe do some over clocking. As its a black and white build I want to make it look as nice as possible.
So far this is my build

I run the Corsair H100 with my AMD FX 8320 at 4.5GHz, and it performs well. Most 240mm Rad water coolers maintain adequate cooling.

Thanks for the advice!
I use the Corsair H100 with my AMD FX 8320 @4.5GHz and it performs well. Most 240MM Rad water coolers should keep it cool enough. What temperatures are you experiencing? Also, how long have you owned this setup? I've noticed in many reviews that people discover their pump fails or leaks after months of use :/
I've been using it for almost two years (starting in August) without any problems. I keep the pump set to LOW because you can adjust it on the H100i. At first, it ran almost nonstop. Later, I switched to a separate PC for my server, which I use daily now. Sometimes I play games, other times I convert videos or just browse the web. When I played Prim 95, temperatures stayed around 60°C at most. Idle temps were between 30-35°C. My dad has an H60 with the same CPU but without overclocking; he passed away about a year ago.
