X51 R3, water cooling help
Anyone with X51 r3 with the watercooler can you let me know what temps you get with the 6700k at idle and in gpu intensive applications like gaming.
Wanting to upgrade my standard x51 6700 (nonK) with the water cooler in hopes to improve overall temps but wanting to know how well they cool the K cpu at 4ghz+ ?
Cheers
Cheers for reply mate!
Ive already got a full desktop bought this one cheap second hand, put a used 1070ti in it, moved the gpu fan onto hdd cage, installed ssd above the optical drive. A few very easy and basic mods gpu runs around 7degrees cooler in bfv on ultra no more gpu thermal throttling.
I have found a seller on ebay with new x51 watercoolers. (Well not new anymore but unused) am thinking of that or the noctua low profile cpu cooler. But i like the idea of the x51 water cooler as its a blower style and exhuasts air our the back instead of throwing heat in the tight case.

Your desired x51-r3 user (with a liquid-cooled CPU) is rare.
My guess is that it would perform close to similarly configured (full) desktop.
Generally, it's better to move it all to a more normal case with a conventional power-supply. Not only is it easily LC-ed, you can install the nicer video-cards (and even cool them properly). :Smile:
