    So I'm looking to water cool my rig, as currently it can hit very extereme temps.. (105 C) (4 cars at any given time) its running a HP stock cooler from my old prebuilt system as of now.

    Its a I7-3770K running stock clocks, I'm looking to over clock to a least 4.4 Ghz and run at a cool temp.

    I was talking with @SixSixSevenSeven and @RobertGracie in my "CPU temp" thread about aio and custom loops and learned a bit of info from it.

    I'm just looking to see who has water cooling here and what model it is, if its a AIO or if it's a custom loop.

    (What parts you have, size of radiator etc etc)

    Post up stats if possible please.

    CPU temp at idle/under load.
    Clock speed
    Processor model
    Fan noise (doesn't really matter to me, but it would be nice to know)
    And what ever else you like to add (pics would be nice.)

    Thanks

    Corsair H110i GT just get that in your system ASAP because the temps on there are causing your processor to go into melt down and its extremely dangerous to run a 3770K or ANY processor that hot....trust me the H110i GT is more than sufficient for your core temps

    Yup I'm getting a cooler ASAP thats the reason why I run one car at a time right now @65 C I wanted to see how hot it will get at any given time.

    What case are you running and can it support up to a 280mm radiator in the roof?

    Its a Corsair C70 it can fit a 2 240 mm radiators or the corsair 105.

    I might get it just to make my pc as quiet as it can get.

    Also, anyone here know what water cooling your mobo does?

    Usually for the VRMs which can get hot on overclocked CPUs, although most overclocking suitable motherboards have a big ass heat sink on them anyway.

    Idles around 30*C and i have it top around 58*C It's set in silent mode and its in Define r5 so pretty quiet. One annoying thing is that the fans keep spinning slowly after i shut down computer, they spin slowly and emit high pitch noise. Have to take power out of outlet to stop it.

    My only excursion to watercooling was with a Fury X. The noise of the pump led me to the 10% slower Fury.
    And my 3770K is also cooled by air for couple years by a Megahalems with 2x 120mm fans at around 55-65°C. The cooler itself is already over 5 or 6 years old by now ... and i heard that closed water loops sometimes don't sustain 3 years.

    I'd stay with air nowadays anytime :D In your case i'd just put a bigger cooler on it.

    Actually AMDs current processors require active cooling for the VRMs on the motherboard when overclocked.
