hello guys,
my cpu q9300 is running too hot 46c, i am not even oc'ing my cpu at this moment. i am using zerotherm nirvana, at first i thought i didnt mount the heatsink properly then i tried to remount it but its still the same temperature. now i decided to go w/c to cool my cpu and maybe NB on my 780i too. My budget is 350 usd including shipping and tax, thanks.

I would suggest looking at a Dtek fuzion v2 with quad core insert, swiftech MCP655 (D5) pump, a 2x120mm radiator and any reservoir, the swiftech mcres is pretty popular. What radiator you get depends largely on how powerful of fans you are going to be using. Get a thicker one with lower fin density for low power/quiet fans or a high fin density radiator if you are willing to get some powerful/louder (probably more expensive) fans. Don't forget to count the cost of tubing, fluid additives/coolant, clamps, T-line if you use one etc.
