how many fans do you recommend?

J

Hello
My pc specs-
Core i7 3770k processor
Asrock z77 extreme4 motherboard.
Zotac nvidia syenergy gddr3 2gb graphics card (I know it's loss end so please don't mention to change it, I will change in in future)
Corsair vengeance 4x1 gb ram
Cooler Master HAF 912 Combat Mid Tower Cabinet
Extra fan that I want to purchase-Cooler Master 90 CFM Blue LED Cooler ( www.flipkart.com/cooler-master-90-cfm-blue-led/p/itmd7q4fcdvw3ujg?pid=COLD7Q4DF73WMYF4&ref=3589b7ce-32a8-4cf6-a724-2b7fd0ceecf5 )
I want to overclock my processor to maximum (4.5Ghz).
My country is very hot (India) and temperature in my area sometimes reaches upto 50 degree Celsius. I am a gaming geek and like playing high end games like I will also be playing crisis3. My cabinet comes with 2 inbuilt fans. I keep my pc on for almost full day (downloading etc.).
So please tell me how many fans (that I mentioned above) do I need for good cooling?
Will my fan for properly? Because I heard that its size is too big.

Cooler Master website gives an idea with this image as how to fit and where to fit fans.

Ambient temps heating 50c, i think wont be a good idea to going to OC, rather concentrate heavily on keeping the temps at check even in stock settings

J

Well...
Thanks for reply.
Is there anyway to keep it cooler with a fan that has better cooling at 4.5ghz? Can you please advise me such fan?

EDIT: Should I go for liquid cooling system fans?

3 is more than enough.

J

Ok thanks.
Should I go for great sink+radiation or liquid cooling system?

If ambient temps are at 50c, then for Over Clocking needs, I guess you would been such cooling. But for regular long hours in load for stock settings, I guess air cooling would be enough

J

Ok buddy.
Thanks

So I decided to buy air cooling since liquid cooling has danger to leak (and it will troll my components which I won't really like).
But I am confused between deepcool assassin and Noctua NH-D14' The price difference is negligible for me.
Which one would be better to keep my processor cool at oc state at 4.5GHz?
Please tell. Thanks.

Noctua NH-D14 if your mobo and cabinet can accommodate it.
Deepcool doesnt come in the same league as Noctua.

Where are you getting the noctua from ? Cost ?

J

I am getting/have gotten all my components from flipkart. The cost of noctua is approx. 5600 and deepcool is 5900 in rupees.

N

Adding upto the comfusion

, wont you OC ?? If you wont then why buying expensive K series processor and asrock z77 board :wink:

If you can afford, buy Liquid cooling

From where are you getting Noctua D14 at the first place?

If the choice is between D14 and deepcool assassin, then D14 is way better than that deepcool cooler.

P.S. please post the link from where you are purchasing D14.

^^ Thats what I dont understand.
The best noctua stuff are out of stock everywhere. Even FK doesnt have those in stock.
Where are people getting it from then ?

^^ Noctua products (read CPU coolers) are OOS atm.
THat's why I have asked OP the question.

J

Bad luck guys

I just noticed that d-14 is permanently discontinued.
So we can't get it from anywhere.
Are there any other good options in similar.price range?
Should I go for deepcool assassin now?

No. Get Corsair H80.

J

But it's liquid cooling which I fear! What is there is leak?

Generally they dont i suppose

many high end buyers are using it for years

J

I have seen many people complaining...
Anyways...
Are you sure that it will work fine?
Any other limitations/disadvantages of these liquid coolers?

S

Corsair liquid coolers provide a warranty in which if the cooler leaks then they'll replace your computer for free.

Thats news. I didnt know the warranty covered others parts as well.

Generally they don't. I use H100 24X7 and nothing bad happened to my system.

Get SVG Tech H40 water cooler, performs better than Corsair H100 and costs a tad less. Check the website :HOC 40

Same here, is it real??!

Happened twice or thrice (or at least I know those cases). But not in India. Here no company have direct presence. Thus to avail total replacement (in case) you may need to bear international shipping cost yourself.
