Forum Overclocking : Heatsinks & Air Cooling [Solved] Need a cooler that is efficent and will fit!

Alright... I have the ASUS sabertooth990fx mobo, running an 1100t processor in an Antec lanboy air case. I need more efficient cooling than the stock cooler obviously. The problem is i have corsair dominator ram with the cooler and led's and *** on top of it. I really like it and dont want to get rid of the fans and lights on the ram. I NEED a cpu cooler that will fit with that setup that will keep my temps down while im overclocked, probably to 4.0 or 4.2 im at 3.7 right now and about 3 minutes in prime 95 and im already at 62c and climbing. it idles around 42-44c. Anyway i need a better cooler that will fit this setup... HELP!!! please and thank you in advance!

Best answer

look at the Corsair H#series or the Antec Kuhler series, they are sealed water coolers and take up very little space on the CPU

Thinking about the antec Kuhler 620, seems reasonably cheap, and i really like antec. Are there any reports of these things leaking? i dont wanna fry this build, i am about budgeted our right now.

The risk of leaks is very very minimal, anything is possible, but you don't need to worry about it. I have a Antec Kuhler 920 and it cools great, I have heard that the 620 is also a very good cooler
