Hello water cooling experts. This forum never let me down, and you won't do so as well. In short, I just built a system based on the i7 2700k cpu. All is well, and I must say that the system is rocket fast. However, I expected more of the corsair H100 cooler and now want much better cooling solution to help with my overclock (Target speed is 5.2 GHz). I'm almost there by the way, but my temps are insane(High eighties under full load). This is a quick components list:
ASUS maximus IV extreme
i7 2700k
32GB Ripjaws RAM
Gigabyte HD Radeon 7970 OC edition
128GB crucial M4 SSD
kingwin 1k PSU
Thermaltake level 10 GT case
And this is my build log if you want to read it:

And this is my overclocking thread:

I can of course do like many suggested to me and buy a ready kit like the XSPC Rasa RX240 kit, which will be noticeably better that the H100. But, let's say I want to go out and want to use an extreme water cooling system....What should I do? Buy each water cooling system piece by itself and pick the best out there? I want the best custom built water cooling solution that I can build. Of course without stupidly throwing my money. I'm a novice when it comes to building custom water cooling solution, but I can learn and I also feel that I'll be enjoying it.
I think you know now where I'm coming from. Please help. Thanks.
