Need advice! Closed loop WC vs Air cooling

[coerce]

---

Mga bros, need ko advice! Turnt ko sa 2 options.. Kay mag overclock na kos akong CPU, mao ni akong plano:

a.) Watercooling - akong gusto kuhaon kay Corsair H60. Push-pull config. Di na kailangan ko mag change ug case if kani ako gamiton, kaso, mahadlok ko if mag leaking ba ron (diskompyado ko) kay mahal raba ang pa ilis hahaha

b.) Air cooling - if air cooling, akong kuhaon kay Hyper 212 Evo, push-pull config gihapon. Kaso, di ma sigo sa side panel sa akong case kay gamay rag clearance (i think .5mm based sa akong na research). So ang akong mabuhat ani kay ipa mod ang side panel sa case para matagaan ug clearance ang height sa heatsink.

BTW, my specs are
GA Z77-D3H
8gb RAM
i5 3570K
NZXT Source 210 Window

Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks!

^ bro,

kay mag OC man ka, i suggest not to use the Closed LCS that's originally designed for a single rad fan. included ani ang imohang choice na H60. get the model w/ dual rad fans @ stock kay kani sila, mao ni ang mga geared for OC'ing. baga ni sila'g radiators and therefore, daghan sulod coolant. the likes of Corsair H80, H70, Antec Khuler H20 920, Antec Khuler H20 950 ug uban pang mga models na baga'g rad. or, kun ang case nimo pwede'g 240 rads, kumbate pud ni sila for OC'ing. this is what they are designed for..

ayaw ka hadlok anang leaking, low occurrence ra na sya for a Closed LCS.

for air cooling, nice pud nang CM Hyper 212 Evo... or kun naa ni dha, CM Hyper 612 V2 or any air cooling system na nice ug rad and Cu heat pipe design. isa sa nice to have aning air cooling system for OC'ing kay daghan ang Cu tubes then sikit sila pagka butang sa surface na mo get in contact sa CPU. ang uban, naa'y gap... better cooling performance nang walay gap kay mas better ang heat dissipation...

sample pics for benchmark lang...

CM Hyper 612 V2... better heat dissipation




CM Hyper T4... check the gaps on the Cu tubes... ang Al ang mo get in contact on some surface of the CPU... Al is inferior to Cu on heat dissipation...




and here's your other choice... CM Hyper 212 Evo... sikit ang Cu tubes on the cooling surface, so, better heat dissipation. mao ni ang isa na reason, why this Hyper 212 Evo is really good for an OC'ed CPU. it was so effectively designed in cooling down OC'ed CPUs... the rad's Al fins width on the 212 Evo is not thick compared to the other air cooling system... it only have 4 Cu heat pipes but, its performance can rival or sometimes beat the other models with thicker rads, more Cu heat pipes and more fans installed (on a push n' pull config)...

better do some reviews sad sir para maka balo ka re sa imo mga choices and what other alternatives ang naa for your needs.

@lloyd_joy

Karon pa ko na mas bagag rad ang water cooling, mas effective.. sure ko mahal ning H80 so wag nalang, hahaha
Lately mas na opted ko sa Hyper 212, kay barato ra unya nindot ug performance. Ang problema lagi ron kay ang clearance from mobo to side panel, 160mm ang listed sa specs sa NZXT Source 210 nya ang height sa Hyper 212 listed as 159mm. Basin mag hu-ot unya ba wa ta kahibaw. What do you think, ipa mod nalang nako ang side panel para naay clearance sa kilid?

[lloyd_joy]

^ nice pud ipa MOD baya ang chassis... but, sa actual fitting sa HW nimo, no idea gyud ko bro... hehehe...

Using CM hyper 212 Evo only 1 fan pushes my 4670k to 4.0 ghz @ 1.2v with the temp of 72 degrees on full load running prime 92.
just 1 fan and only using the the stock fan and stock thermal paste, how much more if i opted to use noctua or corsair in push pull config and branded thermal paste.

Sir naa ko nabasahan na saigo ra sailang source 210 ang 212. And just in case dili, ila ra gichange ila mobo standoffs ug mas mubo.

Mao ni mga builds na paigo ra ang 212 sa ila 210.

try getting thermaltake water pro 3 or antec 920, mga bagag rad. there were few reviews na close to 240mm ang cooling sa baga na rad.

or kanang mga gipangmention nila na cooler, go with pushpull config for better cooling. and lastly, get a pressure static fan kay kasagaran saba ang mga pakapin na fan at full speed...

H60 for me,

been a Hyper212 user, musangit sa akong sidepanel

but ok ra gyud ug performance

until fear of mickeymouse to kill my VC sets in

so i change to Gemini S524 as option but it's Hydro series i want or CM seidon 120xl

then got lucky, @zhieg sold me his H50 at a very low price

then add 2 x 120mm Deepcool Fan with RED Led < hot!>

so i'm very happy with my Close Loop cooler now.

mas hipos tanawon and dili musangit sa sidepanel

but it's just me.

ako, mao ni akoang gamit na mga Closed LCS...

> Antec Khuler H2O 920... changed the stock PWM fans to a pair of Corsair SP120 HPE (2,350 rpm... i like the non-PWM fans)... this cooling system is installed on my i5-2550K and OC'ed to 4.6 GHz (daily operation)... samokan ko maminaw sa mga PWM fans inig throttle then full speed napud...

> Corsair H50... changed the single stock fan to that of Antec Khuler H2O 920 for a "push n' pull" config... this coolling system is installed on my bro's desktop based workstation rig... CPU: i7-3770 (non-K)... previously, kani na cooling system kay nagamit ni sa anang Corsair fans sa taas na gi mentioned nako then CPU was an i3-2120 (OC'ed by raising the baseclock)...
