so yeah i have a 5Ghz 4790K but it gets way to hot even on my H100i fans and pump maxed at 1.4v

4.8Ghz at 1.3v is where im happy. it doesnt go abouve 88C at max. which can you ever max out a 4790k in the real world?

5.0 ghz range needs custom cooling and delidding to properly cool.

Right? I think my 140xl is loud lol. I can only imagine what that sounds like.

If your case can handle it, the Cooler Master 280l is a fantastic aio, and the swiftech H240-X is expandable however requires maintenance.

Please. No. Just... No

those are not meant for a constant thermal load, rather like get something cold and keep it there. And that something wont give off heat.

12

well it could be a gehtto style sub zero pump lol like i said im willing to test it on my old 5Ghz Athlon 860K lol

Old? That CPU is a monster

That Athlon is nearly as good as an i5 in terms of gaming. Seriously. Someone could use that lol
