I'm on a tight budget, but I really want to get my 750 up over the 4.0ghz barrier, a quieter system, and a more impressive aesthetic. I'm looking to spend around $220 for everything, what is the best loop I could create from that?
Key points:
Only looking to have the CPU in the loop
Can only have a 2x120mm radiator due to case constraints
Should keep things compact
Obviously need i5 compatible heat sink
Should be better than air cooling performance (Right now at 3.8 ghz 30c idle, ~60 c load, ambient 13 C)
Thanks guys.
Edit:
To start it off here's what I'm thinking:
Swiftech MCR-220 qp series rad $44.95

Danger Den CPX Pro 12V Inline pump $56.95

15Ft. Masterkleer Tubing $8.85

Heatkiller LC Rev. 3 Heatsink $49.95

2x Yate Loon $10
Biocide $3
T-fitting/Plug $2.50
That puts me at ~$170. What revisions to make?
