A 360 EK radiator, EK GTX Titan-X waterblock + backplate, some more tubing and a whole bunch of fittings are ordered already. Currently waiting for it to be delivered. So yes, this is stage one of my watercooling loop, i will be adding the other stuff in the next days.
So you were right guys, some updates coming soon
i wrote it s useless, i5 doesn t need it
Not to sound harsh, but what kind of bollocks is this?
First of all, my i5 6600k currently runs at 4700Mhz, 1.415v. Everything above 1.4v runs pretty damn hot, no matter if you have a i5 or i7. Saying an i5 doesn't need watercooling doesn't make any sense whatsoever. What if i want it for the silence? what if i live in a very warm environment?
I believe water cooling a i5 6600k is well worth it. It gave me a near quiet computer, 15-20 degrees lower temps and i'm able to push my cpu further than before. Heck, i am still pushing this thing towards 4800mhz now.
In a general note: half of the stuff we put into our rigs aren't needed, we could all run stock coolers on our stock cpu's, right? It's a hobby, my passion, a moneysink. You're on a computer enthousiast forum after all. We do this kind of things
Oh, and thank you for the kind feedback guys! Appreciated
