Hello everyone. I've already tried looking through other threads about water cooling, but none are really direct tot he question I have.
First off, I'm running an AMD 3.2ghz Phenom II X4, 700w OCZ GameXStream PSU, Asus M4A79T Deluxe Motherboard, ATI Radeon 4870 Graphics Card, 4 GB of 1600 DDR3 Ram. Now.. I'm looking to overclock some of my stuff, most importantly the CPU to 3.9 ghz. I've heard it can run on air at 3.9, but is it really all that fine to run it at 3.9 on air? Will my system be running hot? I'm pretty sure it'll be running warm to say the least. I currently have 2 120mm fans in the case, plus a smaller 80mm fan in the front and the PSU fan on top of an aftermarket CPU cooler. I'm not sure if this is enough to make the shift from 3.2 ghz to 3.9. Would you guys suggest watercooling for that? If so I'd probably overclock it higher than 3.9. If watercooling is necessary, what would you suggest for my system? I'd like to keep the price fairly low if possible. I'm also...not the greatest at assembling. How hard/easy is it to set up watercooling by yourself? Would you suggest a professional do it? Thanks in advance. |

A decent air cooler is fine. What temperatures are you running at currently?

Water cooling is never necessary.
