Asrock Extreme 4 and Swiftech H2O-220 Compact

[barbosa]

Guys I'm choosing a new board and came across with Asrock Extreme 4 and for my surprise have the holes for lga 775. Since my old computer have a WC, it will save a lot of money instead of buying a new cooler.

The only question i have is if the block will touch the processor since there's a limit of high.

What do you think. If is positive, definitely i will go for asrock.

Look at the pictures.

Well I don't beleve the hight has been changed much of even at all... but if it doesn't fit you could just add some washers/spacers for hight.

ok guys finish my RIG.

The fitting of my old WC, was I nightmare. First was not giving satisfactory temps under load(4.2ghz, using intelburn, around 70c max). Take out and i could see that the waterblock was not with the full mark of the processor from the thermal paste.

I decided, cutting a little the feet of the waterblock. Well temps went to max 44c/54/54/49c.

Is It too bad???

MAybe is time to go for the Noctua. I just hope is nothing wrong with the CPU surface.

Any advice ??

Those temps seem ok, I wouldn't bother getting a Noctua because the temps would be about the same. I really don't know anything about water cooling so I can't tell if those temps are good or higher than they should be, but they are definitely not bad.
