If you're going with an AIO, the Corsair H100i v2 is currently $45 off on Amazon. The Kraken is nice, but you definitely pay a premium for the RGB.
You could pair the Corsair cooler with a Fractal Designs Meshify C case and save quite a bit over this NZXT build, but I understand it all comes down to personal aesthetic taste.
I've got a <strong>Corsair</strong> Hydro Series H100i v2 Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler, Black
I also have Noctua F12 fans attached to the radiator, for even better cooling. PM me if interested.
I actually got the Z490-E to go with my I9-10900. I upgraded my old build to this current one and I am using my old cooler:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B019EXSSBG?tag=pcpapi-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1
I had a feeling I would be needing to upgrade that so I'm going to go ahead and install a kraken z63.
they don't leak, and have coolant in them already [sometimes they dont though] easy set up. good if you plan on overclocking
really depends on the size of the case and how much room you have tbh.
If you're running good temps why change anything? I have a pretty high end rig though and use this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019EXSSBG/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I run 3 front fans, a top fan, and a rear fan (plus PSU fan) because it's quite. I think more fans keep things much quieter so it doesn't sound like I have an A/C in my office.
Ok, no mention of it being applied on the cooler im looking at link so ill just pickup some in the same order. Best way/shape to apply the paste in your opinion?
Hey guys Im getting a new processor/mobo for xmas and id like to go with liquid cooling. This is likely the cooler I will get. Do I also need to apply thermal paste like normal? or does liquid cooling make that redundant?
hmm that's a bit strange if it's only happening with this game. dunno what else could it be, sorry.
if you want to upgrade your cpu cooler you should choose an all-in-one water cooling system like
https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Extreme-Performance-Liquid-Cooler/dp/B019EXSSBG
i'm using a similiar one and it brought my temps from ~50°C (idle, stock cooler) to ~35°C. it's not cheap by any means but definitely worth it. you don't have to maintain those systems either (like refilling water once in a while)
Thanks for the reply. Since you have the 5t, which I also considered, do you think you would be able to fit the Corsair Hydro Series H100i v2, a 240 mm radiator in the top of that thing with the handle top accessory installed?
I'm not sure how EVGA's AIO are, buit I/friends have personal expirence with corsairs AIO
My brother has the H100i and he has no issue with it at all.
I would recommend changing out the WD Blue drive for a WD Black for the bit of performance increase over the Blue series. Maybe try looking into going for a all-in-one water cooling solution like the Corsair H100i v2, though it has a significant price increase over the Hyper 212 EVO, for a build with a large budget, water cooling would be a good idea. Other than that, it doesn't look bad, nice build OP.
sorry if this is basic.. I'm not sure what "overclocking" is, and if my setup would benefit from this cooler? https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B019EXSSBG/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
Also, there seems to be a fit/compatibility issue on PC Part Picker, but I read a review and youtube video that says it might be a tight fit, but will fit with a bit of room to spare? Worth it? I'm just worrying about the case being too crowded and poor circulation, overheating, etc. Thanks again..
I guess I should have prefaced that if I save a little money from making a rig that fits my needs, that'd be good by me. It looked to me like the GTX 1080 TI wasn't really worth the extra 200-300 considering QHD. You think this aio cooler would suffice for overclocking the 7700? https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Extreme-Performance-Liquid-Cooler/dp/B019EXSSBG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1496270519&sr=8-1&keywords=aio+cooler
Do you have any suggestions as to how I could look into thermal throttling in my PC? I am looking at swapping my stock cpu fan for the following; Corsair CW-9060025-WW Hydro Series H100i V2 240 mm Extreme Performance All-In-One Liquid CPU Cooler - Black https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B019EXSSBG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_Hmt.ybM9QB2M8
The CPU cooler is now the only one to be swapped out. I have 3 120mm case fans on at all times with the GPU able to power up 2 additional case fans when the GPU reaches a certain temp, as well as the built-in 3 GPU fans.
I'll be sure to check my PUBG video settings tomorrow to mirror yours and see what it says. I have removed the ini files in the past but will be sure to do that again tomorrow also.
Thanks for your advice!
As kentbrodie said, you do not want to skimp in power wattage, mostly since you are using a i7-7700k AND a GTX 1080, both of which can be overclocked pretty well (depending on the silicon lottery). I usually recommend people to get at least a 600W on a Gaming PC, and no more than a 750W unless you are planning to do some HEAVY workstation work or SLI/Crossfiring. Also... you don't have a lot of good quality options in your market, if you were in the US, you'd have better options. I was looking for a PSU that is 80+ Gold for power efficiency, and Semi/Full Modular to give you more room in your ITX case.
Air Coolers are better price/performance. A Cryorig H7 is AMAZING for it's price (remember to use the thermal compound that it comes with). If you really want to use a liquid cooler, you can get a Corsair Hydro H100i v2, but it really isn't necessary.
I really just chose a different GTX 1080 in the ITX case to give you more room to build around.
Also note: That Phanteks Enthoo EVOLV ITX case can use:
Front
- 2 x 120/140mm fan
- 1 x 200mm fan
Top
- 2 x 120/140mm fan
Rear
- 1x 120/140mm fan
I personally like Noctua (Rated , Phanteks (Phanteks PH-F140SP_BK_BLED <3 <3), and be quiet! I do have 1 Corsair AF120 currently in my case, and it isn't bad either. But to each their own, you can do some research on case fans before you buy them.
the H100i or the H100i v2? I'm looking at the v2 and was wondering if thats what everyone is ordering: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-CW-9060025-WW-Extreme-Performance-Liquid/dp/B019EXSSBG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1488191121&sr=8-1&keywords=h100i&th=1
Personally I think the black with white accents would look better with your case, but that's just me. If you aren't having any overheating issues then I'd say just wait, but if you're having trouble you can order it whenever.
EDIT: for that price you could also look into an all-in-one liquid cooler like the Corsair H100i v2. That's the cooler I have on my computer and it looks awesome. (Not sure if you have the mounting on the top of the case for it, but it looks like you have the room for it if you do)
>Liquid cooling support: 240mm, 280mm, 360mm Radiators (Front and Top)
Any aio 240mm rad will work with that case.
Personally I'd get the h100i v2 whilst it's got a $30 discount
Don't forget to get some noctua ppc fans as well :)
Alternatively, get the nhd15. But beware of ram clearances.
Corsair H100i. Closed loop water cooler. Makes things much quieter.
H100i
If you dont want to get too crazy with water cooling, getting a closed loop system is good. This Corsair is a really good one, and is recommended a lot. Or really any of the other models from Corsair.
yeah, i have a 4790k. its great never gonna bottleneck me for many years except apparently in civ 6 since its cpu intensive af. i7 will overclock the best due to the fact that they are the more perfect chips in production and overclocking is fun.... but if you dont have the money then its prob not worth it.
this is the updated cooler it seems https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Extreme-Performance-Liquid-Cooler/dp/B019EXSSBG/ref=zg_bs_3015422011_1
Well if you save the money on the SSD and PSU, and swap out that cooler for this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B019EXSSBG/ref=twister_B0128CE0JE?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 at $104, you could over clock that with no issue, as the radiator supplies a great amount of cooling for it's size and price. You can up for the larger fan size if you like, all really depends on how how you're trying to overclock.

As far as I'm aware to get a 360mm radiator you would have to look outside of the All in one liquid coolers.
The difference is simple:
240mm radiator uses two 120mm fans 280mm radiator uses two 140mm fans
I use this myself (Amazon)
are you going to overclock? If not, you can go with a cheaper air cooler for the cpu. Also you could go with a cheaper mobo that's not all about overclocking. if you are overclocking and want that aio, I suggest this one http://www.amazon.com/dp/B019EXSSBG/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=23R7QMLQ9U6KE&coliid=IE8JK4P8NSZ1D&psc=1
it has treated me well in the past, and its a tad cheaper than the one you picked.
why did you choose that motherboard? It's on the upper end, and if you don't need all those features, I'd suggest going with a lesser board, which would cost significantly less
do you need a 500gb ssd? you could save money there as well
an 850w psu is not needed for that build, you could drop that to a 550w unless you plan on going sli in the future, and even then, you shouldn't need more than a 750w, but the 850 would make it safer.
Don't know the difference but the H100i v2 is $94.99 on amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019EXSSBG/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1
Doubt you'll get £90+10 as it's only £102 brand new off Amazon with prime. Generally, used they tend to go for around £60 so you could expect £70-80 IMHO.
you're a bad bot, and you should feel bad.
Currently $103 New on Amazon for the Newest version (V2)

My girlfriend told me that at the end of the day she will buy everything in my amazon cart up to 300 dollars...
But I didn't really have anything I needed or even wanted all that bad.. Took me all day to find stuff lol.
So I got
Corsair Hydro Series H100i v2 $97
JD Fenix Limited Edition Xbox One Wireless Controller $55
Microsoft Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows $21
Xbox One Play and Charge Kit $24
APC 11-Outlet Surge Protector $35
APC 8-Outlet Surge Protector $25
10 Nylon Lanyards for Small Electronic Devices $4
Still have 8 dollars left over haha.
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant
Over $700 on a 1080 is insane. Get the hybrid: water cooled and air cooled, blower will work as an exhaust as well. I'm not a Cryorig fan and their customer service is HORRENDOUS. You can get a great AIO cpu cooler right now with prime sales (id legit get it now). Changed to a nice quite tempered glass case that has light effects. they have different colors so take your pic on newegg. 1440p 144hz monitor w/ gsync different speakers to save some money, still pretty good quality for 2.1 you can save ~$60 on your SSD if you make it the 260gb one. you can save ~$40 on your webcam by getting the c920. the c922 is okay for cutting out the background, but I feel youre better off sitting in front of a green screen personally.
On the AIO I have one of the hoses is forced down the GPU side of the frame and I'm unsure how to proceed. Please advise.
Cool, ty for the help.
These are two that are within my budget. Which one would you say is better? ;o
H100i v2 is $95 on amazon right now
This is an amazing cooler and still puts you at the under $900 mark.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B019EXSSBG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_ARTYAbG12770W
GREAT so they do work! thanks for the help bro. Can you also link me some red cables for my cpu cooler on amazon? https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B019EXSSBG/ref=ox_sc_act_image_5?smid=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&psc=1
What's your total budget? I'm assuming right around 2000.
If that's the case, I highly recommend a water cooler with your 7700k. I personally have a Corsair h100i because those chips are notorious for running hot due to shitty ihs paste. I also got mine delidded after I realized that I'd go over 80C at full load. Once the process was done, my chip never saw over 50C. While the h7 is a great cooler for the money, I just wouldn't be comfortable with it on this chip.
Not to advertise, but I purchased my 7700k from the silicon lottery, which basically tests chips and pushes them as far as they'll go. I purchased mine with a stable 4.9GHz overclock. I especially recommend that if you're going to sport a 1080ti. It would be a shame to be gaming and be throttled back because of the excessive heat. Just something to keep in mind. You could be lucky and get a cool and powerful chip, or you could get a shitty one. It's all luck. With the SL, you get one guaranteed to work as advertised. For example, you can buy this one already delidded and ready to OC to 5.0GHz.
Also, try to opt for a bigger storage drive. 1TB is nice, but if you're planning on gaming and as such, that thing fills quick. I had to upgrade already from a 1TB to a 4TB.
Everything else looks great.
EDIT: You swapped out the i7-7700k for the i5-8600k. I still recommend everything I said above. Several friends of mine went through these guys and they're fantastic.
EDIT2: You can still get this chip from the SL guaranteed to hit 5.0 here.
Yes, the 8600k and 8700k are both very hot chips, so you would have to change your CPU cooling. You will need either a 240/280 mm AIO cooler or a big air cooler.
Two CPU cooler options:
Note - These CPU's are overkill for your needs, and I would look into upgrading your GPU to a GTX 1070 or GTX 1080 to fully utilize their performance. The GTX 1060 6GB will be bottlenecking your 8600k and 8700k performance because it will not be fully utilizing their speed.
If you use Wi-Fi, this is a very good Wi-Fi network adapter.
You can get them for around the same price as the air cooler too.
https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Extreme-Performance-Liquid-Cooler/dp/B019EXSSBG
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-CW-9060025-WW-Extreme-Performance-Liquid/dp/B019EXSSBG
If your budget is big enough, I use this to OC my i7 7700k to 5.1gz and it keeps it at a cool 67 ish.
I'm using https://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-CW-9060025-WW-Extreme-Performance-Liquid/dp/B019EXSSBG this exact AIO for my i7 7700k overclocked to 5.1gz and its keeping it at around 67-73~ on heavy loads.
The Zalman Z11 can host a 240mm or 280mm radiator on top, which would provide vastly superior cooling for overclocking. I would recommend a 280mm, as they have much more cooling power than 240s. That said, this 240mm is on sale for just over $100, and is from one of the top quality brands. The 280mm version is around $140 right now, but I got it for $110. Prices fluctuate. You could also get this 280mm for $120, which is also from a great brand, but is an older model without the RGB lights of the new one. Both of these are above budget, but that's the price you pay for superior cooling. If you want cheaper options, look on NZXT and Corsair's websites for other options, though I would recommend a 140mm at the least, which you could mount on the front.
Looks like my H100i will work fine (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019EXSSBG). The socket is different but I bought this cooler more than a year ago so if it fits that means the mobo holes are the same for AM4.
Am I hallucinating or do you see this corsair H100i v2 for $5? amazon
Amazon has the cooler for the same price but no rebate if you don't have a Frys in your area: https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Extreme-Performance-Liquid-Cooler/dp/B019EXSSBG
Best one. will allow for a huge overclock and still remain it super cool.
If you're going for performance I would definitely choose an AIO. The only air coolers that will surpass them are by Noctua (NH-D15) but won't fit inside the s340.
My top two picks would be:
Corsair H110i v2 240mm AIO $103 (Normally $129, currently discounted on amazon) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019EXSSBG/
NZXT Kraken X31 120mm https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NC05KFK/
You won't get much better cooling than the corsair option at this price point, and I'd definitely say the extra cost over the Kraken is well worth it for the improved performance.

Or
Can't decide between the two or if I should just get a better air cooler. Will be upgrading to a 6600k with plans to oc it as high as possible
Something like this. It would get installed at the front of the case.
Hey Brother,
A few points of interest. You are cooling a 6700k and even that baby will get hot with after effects if you start using things like Particular and C4D. You may want to upgrade to a Corsair Liquid Cooler. Liquid can seem scary for a first build, but the H100 series is completely self contained and I have one in my personal gaming rig.
A word of caution on your OS, the OEM version of Windows 10 is a completely different license than the full retail version. The OEM versions bind to your build, and cannot be transferred, so If you start swapping out too many parts your license can become invalid. Also there is no Microsoft support with the OEM version, if that means anything to you. I would recommend a full retail version for your first build for sure.
I tend to agree with Emerald, get you a 1070 (if you can find one) get some neat new features with arguably superior performance. That said, if you are wary of buying current gen (completely reasonable) then the Ti will do you just fine.
Really solid build for the performance you're looking for.
I know that RX480 hasn't been released yet and there's no benchmarks besides a few leaks, but I'm pretty sure its going to be able to pull of 1080p at 60fps with almost any game, so you're probably good there.
So yeah, don't really see any problems or shortcomings with your second build.
If you want, you could try water cooling your CPU with a Corsair H100i v2 or a NZXT Kraken x61.
Other than that, really nice build you got there. Kinda jealous.
Would that work with fm2+ and a Raidmax Stingray case?
Would that work with fm2+ and a Raidmax Stingray case?
He just needs a liquid cooler and a new GPU.
THIS is a good liquid cooler that would be suitable for your CPU
Be quiet is good, but at that price you might as well go for the Corsair H100i. Intel processors generally run hot the 8700k specifically can run high temps when gaming. I dont see how an air cooler would be better than a water cooler. In general water transfers heat better than air.
Either way if you really want to do air cooling be quiet would be a great choice. I'm not trying to push you in either direction just trying to put my .02, At the end of the day it's whatever you're happy with.
