I am planning on purshacing an I5-750 and I am trying to figure out the cooling.
I already ready have a Liang D5 pump, and 3-120mm radiator from my A64 overclocking days. What CPU blocks are out there that work with the I5 that are recommended? I don't like the copper/brass ones as I want to stay all copper for corrosion purposes. My Dangerden RDX is 5 years old and looks brand new because of staying with an all copper loop.
The alternative is to get a Scythe Mugen Rev-B.
My main goal is to get a higher stable electrical/thermal overclock. I understand water should yield better temps, but does that correlate directly to higher maximum clock? I always see reviews showing temperatures, yet I never see anyone show that switching to water made them run any faster.
My old A64 didn't get any faster with water, just cooler. I just want to make sure the extra efforts of doing a water loop are justified this time around.
