Hi everyone
I'm new to this overclocking stuff, but I'd like to boost my CPU using a water or air cooler. My case has plenty of space for a water block and room around the motherboard (MSI Gaming H97 3).
I was thinking to keep costs under 100 Canadian, but if it's worth it, I'll go for it.
I also don't want something too loud, so maybe just swapping the fans would work.
Any advice would be really helpful thanks a lot.

hello everyone
i'm new to this overclocking process but i'd like to boost my cpu using a good water cooler or air cooler. my case has plenty of space for a water block and room around the motherboard (msi gaming h97 3).
i was thinking about staying under a 100 canadian, but if it's worth the extra cost then i'll go for it.
i also don't want something too loud, but i'm not sure what to change regarding the fans.
any advice would be really helpful thanks a lot.

i was thinking about staying under a 100 canadian, but if it really makes a difference then i’ll consider it.
i also don’t want something too loud, maybe just changing the fans would work.
any suggestions would be appreciated.
do you have this setup? could you tell me what temperatures i might expect from this?

You need a z97/z87 motherboard for overclocking, but I'm not changing my board just for that... Thanks.
