Hello everyone.
With so many expert builders here I was hoping for some suggestions with how to move forward.
I currently have this configuration:
I7 7700k
Asus Z270i
32 GB Corsair LPX
Silverstone 700 watt SFX-L psu
GTX 1080 ti founders edition.
Current cpu cooler is NH-L12.
There are three Gamerstorm 120 fans in the case. Two on the side mount and one under the gpu intake. All fans are blowing air into the case.
I have mildly undervolted the Cpu to 1.15 volts with a small overclock of 4.6 Ghz (300 mhz AVX offset). The cpu is NOT delidded
Thermals right now are like this:
Idle temperature: 41-46 (it keeps jumping because it's not delidded)
Temperature under gaming load: 79° max.
With an aggressive fan curve I was able to get 71° on the cpu last night But I have to put headphones on to achieve this. Those Gamerstorm 120 fans are loud (not annoying like a whoosh sound, but three of them can be loud.
My question is can I get a better temp or higher overclock on the CPU by moving to a new cpu cooler?
Currently I own LP53, Cryorig C9 (both underpowered compared to the Noctua) and a Cryorig C1 (I'm not sure if it fits in the case).
I am willing to get a new cooler In fact I am going to get one. But I thought it would be a good idea to ask the community instead of going for a trial and error method (and burning money in the process).
Many thanks to everyone for their support
