Is there a way to easily liquid cool my GPUs? I'm hitting 84C on my top card when sli is at 99% on each card (like watch dogs 2 or Witcher 3).

I wanna overclock my shyts, but that's not happening on air. I don't want to fukk with a double loop or whatever the fukk custom water cooler systems do. I want a simple setup like a CPU liquid cooler

i've got an i5 5570k as well.
i'm running it with a gtx 970.

i'm playing fallout 4 maxed out at 1080 and i'm consistently at 60 fps.

this cpu has been with me since i got this rig and is still doing right by me.
I'll look into these. Props.

If it stabilizes the performance for this Elgato I'm in

I went a bit different then what I posted. Basically took parts from both builds in the article.

So far I've gotten

i7 6700k
Nvidia 1070
16gb corsair vengance 2400
850 watt ps
Antec p100 case
Asus Maximus VIII hero motherboard

Price matched most things so saved some money.

Will this be a good enough CPU cooler?

Or do you guys recommend another one?

I have the h100i V2 and it's fukking amazing. I got a strong overclock on my 6850k and I don't think it's ever even hit 60c. :wow:

I'm at 4.2 (my starting ghz are lower than yous, cuz I got a 6-core), but I bet you could hit 4.6/4.7 with this cooler and your chip

Brehs, WTF is Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut? I knew this was next level with the consistency not as watered down as other pastes I have used. My PS4 and rebuilt OG 60GB PS3 are now dead silent even in games. The PS4 is so quiet now that the only thing I can hear is the HDD working. :merchant:

I swore I didn't see how it would be such a big difference over MX-4, but now I might be tied to this shyt for years :merchant:

Do I take apart my laptops, consoles and desktops to apply this to them? :jbhmm: I just might.

I had a dark rock pro 3 in my previous build. Very quiet, cool, dependable and a lot cheaper than h100i

If you switching mobos you gonna have to make that phone call. I took the free upgrade on an old PC and I had to call them to switch to a new PC. They gave me an actual serial number while on the phone. the guy went on my PC and put a notepad file with the serial on my computer.
