Which Liquid Cooling System?

Question

I currently have a CoolIt Freezone TEC CPU cooler and that seems to work very well to cool my overclocked QX6700 CPU (currently running at 3.66 ghz), however I hope to push it further, possibly up to or past the 4.0 ghz mark.

Apparently there is an option on the TCM for freezone's cooler to sacrafice quietness for colder temperatures, so I might be able to push it further with no problem.

However I have heard that the Vapochill LS seems to be a VERY powerful cooling system (someone has used it cool a qx6700 processor overclocked to the mid 4.0ghz zone), although it looks to me to be a bit bulky and expensive (over $400 more than the freezone).

Which is a better liquid cooling system for the price? The CoolIt Freezone CPU cooler? or the Vapochill LS?

Answer 1

With the right motherboard and RAM, even air cooling works great. Look at my idols:

Well, you might want to be careful when you overclock your cpu since since it might not be able to run that smoothly without making some errors. Well, as for the liquid cooling systems, you should try to use the one you have, sure it may not be quiet but why spend money on something that may make just as much noise, but that is up to you. I personally don't use liquid cooling systems because I'm scared of leaks that may form and damaging my system.
