so i got my little x58 rig here with a xeon x5675 on a asus p6t SE motherboard. still a awesome system
but my current water cooler from Antec does not cut it. if i hit aida64 on stock speeds it instantly hits 86c. (these are temps after delidding and direct die contact)
i'm looking for a water cooler (or aircooler. the NH D15 seems tempting)
i think the ideal one would be a cooler capable of keeping a 180watt chip cool because the xeon can get quite hot when you start overclocking it
i got a define r6 case so in terms of air/water coolers there is pretty much no limit to what you can put in.
my current water cooler is a Antec mecury 360 .
the corsair 150i pro seems like a nice cooler
but i've also seen the eisbaer lt360 wich keeps a 8700k at 5ghz about 20c cooler than my current cooler
the chip i currently got in my motherboard is binned for around 4.8 to 5.0 ghz
excuse me for my rather noob qeustion about this.
i havent really dove into overclocking and water cooling alot since it used to be very uncomfy area for me.
also no i'm not looking into making a custom loop thats way out of my comfort zone
thank you alot in advance for all the tips
