i doubt u hit 5ghz on air cooling though i could be wrong
btw do you have a second account and u gave yourself 31 reps? amazing lol

You could probably hit 5ghz with air cooling but i dont think you could keep temps at an acceptable level
Closed loop is something like the H100i a waterblock and weak pump, which cant be opened
well not all cpu's can hit 5ghz but maybe a h100i could get u there efficiently, wouldnt be as good as a custom loop but they are alright i suppose
You are correct sir, it warps worse than poor window frames in hot weatherOriginally Posted by ZytheEKS
Dimensional-Warping Molecular-Level-Thermologically-Balanced Carbon Nanotube Hexaduple Quad-Phase 17-Parallel-Dimension Quantum-Tunneling Space-Fabric Rift block, with its accompanying Anti-Gravity Einsteinium-alloyed Magnetorheological Sub-Zero Kelvin Thermal Interface Material would work better, but if you can't manage that definitely go with a liquid cooling loop. Air cooling simply won't due for high overclocks on high leakage chips like the piledriver CPUs.
My recommendation is the H2O-H220 kits from swiftech, or if you aren't going to be getting it for a while you could get the H320. They're the best way to get into watercooling short of the Raystorm kits, and I tend to advise against those for AMD CPUs because the backplate on the AMD CPUs causes the XSPC Raystorm to bow, or so I've heard.
Fortunately I live in the UK.
Right, I suggested the H2O-H220, not the H220. Swiftech still sells kits from prefabbed Apogee Drive IIs and Apogee HDs, as opposed to their modified Apogee Drive they sell with the H220 CLC.Originally Posted by ep45-ds3l
Unfortunately, you won't find an H220 for sale in America..![]()
And I was waiting it out for for the revisions to be shipped to Microcenter.
Also, not sure about the cheaper raystorm kits.. The cheaper pumps have no MTBF rating somewhat weaker impellers or so I've heard. Also I think only a 1 year warranty..
.-. It comes with the MCP35x pump, which is the best pump out there. That alone is around $100, then the Apogee HD is a $70, then factor in a radiator with quality fans. You get what you pay for.
