Recommended AIO cooler for an overclocked 5820k

[Mikesamo]

I just hope you can find one in stock.

There's a few in stock on ebay. I'll order it on Tuesday

 

[Mikesamo]

it doesn't seem to be compatible with bottom fan mounting . do you recommend using the fan in pull mode . I don't want the cooler to dump hot air into my case .

In stock:

Pull mode will work just fine.

 

[Mikesamo]

Hello guys I placed the order . should arrive within 2 days . I will update with pics

 

[ATMINSIDE]

Woot!

 

[Mikesamo]

Woot!

that was the only website offering it for the price . it goes at least 200 $ and 14 day shipping on ebay/amazon/newegg

 

[Mikesamo]

UPDATE : hey guys the cooler is here . unfortunately i cannot mount it just yet because there is no motherboard yet . until November 8 sadly .
here are some pictures

Heres the default fan config

Changed it to Pull mode to exhaust air outside the case

and the waterblock itself

It's purdy!

Very . do you recommend installing it and justleaving the block hanging or wait until the motherboard is here

 

[ATMINSIDE]

I would support the weight of the block if you go ahead and install.

 

[Mikesamo]

should I install it first or it might be a problem installing the motherboard later ? . I mean i prefer to have the pc as ready as possible

 

[caddi daddi]

you want to test fit everything first, go ahead and install the cooler to the case, just tie the block up so you don't pull on the hoses.
I prefer to build from the motherboard tray out, that way I know I can get things out of the rig without pulling the motherboard and all it's wiring if one of the other pieces fail.

I would personally wait till everything is in. Install the core components first and than fit the cooler. In the meantime, you could search of the same cooler and case and see how others have it configured to give you a peace of mind.

I think so too . my case is listed as compatible on pc part picker. I just need the 3rd of November to come here faster

Give us a list or edit your first post to this thread and post all the components you're putting in this including cooler since I can't seem to find exactly what case you have.

As for the Corsair 760t.

Radiator and fan compatibility:
- Top: 3 x 120mm or 2 x 140mm
- Front: 2 x 140mm or 2 x 120mm (2 x 140mm LED included)
- Bottom: 1 x 120mm
- Rear: 1 x 140mm or 120mm (140mm included)

As the image below shows, it can be a tad tight but you're good to go and have the option as a cooler and case to add more down the road say if you were to add the GPU(s) to the mix.
