That is a massive chunk of metal.

There are just as good coolers that are priced better than noctua

23

What do you have in mind

24

Depends on case and space ect.

But yeah cpu coolers are a big marketing game

The core v21 has a 185mm clearance for CPU
I was given a Corsair H60 some time ago Ill probably use this for a while anyway but I think you guys have convinced me to go with air on the CPU and water for the GPU?

Depends on GPU if you really need water or not to get max OC.

ehhh, if price is any concern… you will get very little value from dropping a water block on the graphics card.

That is true but I can’t think of a better way to keep an overclocked GPU cool and quiet?

How quiet do you need?

34

If you have room for a giant heat sink… the case will have space for airflow. Using case airflow is easy, and much more cost efficient.

35

That is true, though I can’t think of a better way to keep an OCed GPU cool and quiet.
I was thinking the following

I am all ears, how would you do it?

37

you sure the block will fit on that gpu?

38

As quiet as possible I guess

39

What DB level though? Its kind of pointless to throw min $200 USD to drop like 10db

I don’t want to be able to hear it from 3.5m away sitting on the couch
