I just purchased a H100 by corsair. I know, it's not what any liquid cooling advocate would ever choose. These closed loop systems are almost always beat out by the manually built ones, but hear me out. I don't use a 'case' per say. I build a stand for my computer that everything just kind of sits on out in the open. It makes manipulating parts, and switching drives (which I do a lot), much easier. Oddly enough, the temperature of the CPU hasn't changed since moving away from cases. I just keep a nice can of air around to blow the dust off, and any other creepies that work their way onto my mobo.
But enough about that, back to my H100. It was installed and mounted into my windowsill, so that it pulls the air from outside (through a series of makeshift screens to avoid contamination, and a windowsill mount that lets me close the window on top of the radiator). It also has a push-pull configuration, and all the fans are always on high. After 30 minutes of idling, it rose no higher than 9C and went no lower than 5C. 5 Hour torture test results ran no higher than 20C.
Can you help me reach stable 3.6Ghz?
