Gaming computer build - BF3

I am hearing good things about the Antec Kuhler.

Something Nevakonaza picked for me, I haven't even read the reviews yet even though I've already ordered the kit lol.

My last major build was about 4-5 years ago which had a full alpha watercooling kit for the CPU and North bridge. That alone set me back about 300 GBP at the time.

Just hope I can penetrate the 4.0Ghz mark and I'll be happy...

Should be able to push it much further than that, On another forum i was looking on a member said this about the Kuhler,

I have a Kuhler 620 + 2500k @ 4.6 and idle is 27-28C and I haven't seen it go over 64C max

Obviously temps may be different for you but it’s not exactly hot in the UK :P so you should be able to get a nice over clock and still get great temps.


What i would do is take off the stock fan and put 2x High CFM 120mm Fans and put both on either side of the Rad for a Push/Pull.
 
Ahh cool yeah I have some 120mm's so I think I will do that.

Been looking at this post on Hardforum.com, looks like a pretty decent CPU to clock. What's also nice is they used the same main board as the one I've ordered.

Rang them today, parts should be with me tomorrow :D

Look out for another thread on here called summin like "help I tried hitting 5Ghz and put a black hole in the floor" :P
