Help me water cool my cpu!

Thread Starter 
So this is what i have, i have a cooler master hyper 212 Evo and i have a i7 3770k i want to be able to do like 4.7Ghz and higher, so i need to water cool it.. Now this is a bit hard with my case but i think we can do it. I was thinking of a dual 120mm fan/ radiator and a good copper block..

the problem i have is i don't no wear to put the radiator or the pump or the reservoir?!?! so thats what i need help with and if you could show me some good parts or good kits that would be grate... all of the case fans are 80mm. and i don't want to go over $$200.00

do you think this is any good? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835106183
i don't want the hot air going in to my case and i don't think that small radiator will cool my cpu much more then the 212evo i have now.
















the to back 80mm fans

the front to 80mm fans one is in a hdd bay

i have to 5.25" cd drive bays open for use!

Get yourself an XSPC Raystorm kit preferably a D5 version if you can afford it. Will come with everything you need.

PS-Getting above 4.7 or so is luck of the draw of what chip batch you have. Even with watercooling, you may not get the peak clock speeds you want.

If you wanted to even bother with watercooling I would suggest you stay away from that Thermaltake kit. For just a little bit more money you could get a much better kit. The only trouble is that I'm not entirely sure where you would put it. Your case doesn't really have many spots to put radiators. Are those 120mm fans on the back by your heatsink or are they 80mm fans?

they are 80mm. that kit look's good i would put the pump and the radiator on top of the case like so what do you think? do you think that pump will have enough power to pump the water out of the case and up to the top?

The pump would have plenty enough power, and as long as you had good airflow through your radiator it would work out well. Are you only planning on watercooling your CPU?
