What's the best liquid cooling solution for overclocking the 8350? I've read that the h100i is pretty good , so any thoughts on that? I can get the h100i v2 in the shop here. Any alternatives?
Also I've got a Zalman z9 case that supports the 120mm fans , just for the extra info.
Currently I've got a coolermaster 212 evo but it's not doing the job that good , despite all the good reviews it got.

Upgrade my CPU? To what? I'd love to get the ryzen but then I'd have to replace my sexy mobo. I'd like to get what's best in performance for the mentioned CPU.

You are going to have fun.

Forget that puny H60 and get a real cooler. That Zalman case is bad for air flow so air coolers are stifled in it. Either work on case air flow or go big water.

Actually my GD80 burned out (took the CPU with it as well) , and it was replaced with sabertooth 990fxa r2.0 (didn't update my signature in a while here). What do you mean by big water?

Ouch! Mine has always run strong and can take more voltage than my Sabertooth can.

By big water i mean anything with at least a 240 radiator.

Yeah it has done it's job to be honest , but I never thought it would damage my CPU when it dies. Was a costly replacement.
Voltage is not my issue , temps are.

Yeah, with that tiny cooler temps would be a yuuuge problem. A good twin tower air cooler should get you to 4.7-4.8 or so without modding the case. But no matter what cooler is used better case fans are a must.

These are the very best 120mm case fans. https://www.coolerguys.com/collections/fans/products/gentletyphoon-120mm-silent-case-fan-series-d1225c12b-1450-1850-2150-and-4250-rpm

By modding the case I mean cutting out the back mesh and removing the I/O panel. This greatly increases air flow and cooling while also lowering noise from the air rushing through the grating.
