What are you folks using to cool your Ivy Bridge?


I have to ask because I have been lead to water cooling and I am going to have a tough time figuring out how to build this rig, overclock it and also put a custom loop in it. Not that I dont think I can do it but if there is an easier way I would like to know. I was told about the H100 but I read a bunch of negative reviews about making a grinding noise. Anyways, your thoughts?

But the cooler is really irrelevant and your CPU settings are everything.

Ok Archer sounds good to me. Let me get my hardware lined out and then I will worry about configs. Thanks!
