Water cooling options

[gwertheim]

Anyone know what AIO's are best for the V6 or rads, reservoirs, pumps, cpu blocks that will fit in the case?

For an AIO you are limited to 240mm radiators. So the Corsair H100i or the NZXT Kraken X52. I have the H100i in the V6 on a 3900X. Idle temps are close to 40 (in Balanced mode). When gaming they are usually under or around 60. The ML120 fans that come with the cooler can get noisy above 1500 RPM. If you're looking for a quieter system and slightly better temps you may want to swap out the radiator fans for a pair of Noctua NF-A12 x 25.

I use an eisbaer LT 240. 25 rad but full copper, not aluminum like all the others. And you can also search for the non LT version and you will get a 30mm copper radiator.

I have a 3700x at 4.2 and 1.36v (more or less, I'm changing and tuning things all the time) I have low 40 to high 30s on idle and noctuas at 600rpm I see around 83 under full load at Intel burn maximum setting. Playing is more like 55-60 and rendering with vray doesn't go over 75.

In my sample the cold plate of the block was a bit curved and I got some improvements by lapping it. But appart from that very happy with it.
