Currently have a H80i v2, just upgraded my system to a 8700k. Right now its at 4.8ghz @ 1.28v however the little h80i cant handle the OC during stress testing with aida64 and small fft prime 95. It constantly reaches 90 degrees during testing but games are fine. Im currently looking for a new AIO or air cooler if there are any good ones.
I know its kind of vain but I want this setup to look good. I've done some research and found the d15 from noctua to be one of the best air coolers out there however i dont like how it takes up pretty much the whole mobo area where most the RGB lighting is. My case is a h700i so it has all those fancy lights.
I've been looking at corsair AIO's however ive been put out by them because they all have aluminum radiators that are prone to galvanization. Im thinking the best water cooling setup out there might be EK? any1 here have any experience with durable AIO's or know of a closed loop setup that doesnt have a copper cpu block with an aluminum radiator?
I know EK is a open loop setup but im open to trying it out in the name of RGB goodness lol... but if there is a AIO out there thats worth a damn then pls let me know xD
