Need a Heatsink for 17-4790K overclock

[BigXor]

Need a Heatsink for 17-4790K overclocked in a norco 4U 7 inch wide case.

Hard to find a heatsink that will not be taller than case when installed

So many to chose from; thought I would ask the community and see what people are using.

Which case is it? Mind linking?

Norco 4220

I measured what I am using now and have max 6in. or 152mm

My overclock will possibly be 4.6GHz ( haven't rec'd the i7-4790K yet.)

Currently I am using a Cooler Master Hyper N520 on an i5-4670K @4GHz, but the N520 board mounting is weak and I would not recommend this to anyone.

Put this in my wishlist, but can't tell if it will have enough cooling power. I may be able to finagle a 2 or three fan water cooler on the outside of the case (will need recommend for water cooler). Case will need some modding. I use the case turned on it's right side so that it takes up less room on work table. So the left side is available for radiator.

That is if a proper air tower cannot be found.

Thermax Eclipse IV

Any thoughts

Well these are awesome: Amazon.com: Supermicro 4U Active CPU Heatsink Cooling for X9 UP/DP Systems SNK-P0050AP4: Computers & Accessories and cheaper.

My go-to 4U active 'sink. They are surprisingly very quiet.

*but I don't overclock much so who knows. Maybe just use for the dimensions?

That is a LGA1150 CPU BTW.

How about the Corsair H100i or similar? The radiator fits across any two 120mm fan holes. The one I just got is my first ever watercooling rig, and I must say I'm sort of gutted that I never used these things before. They're that good. The Corsair Link software is pretty neat, too.

The Scythe Ninja is a nice and small heatsink.

I ordered a X2 Eclipse IV Air Tower and Corsair H80i Water Cooler

I will test the water cooler first. I didn't want to use the H100i because I am using only two
133CFM Fans.

Plenty of air for my build.

I run my backplane cables through the center fan cutout and duct taped the hole closed.

I will post a photo when completed.

I installed the Corsair H80i with a 133CFM fan, and the i7-4790K is throttling @82C using Intel burn test.. Guess I'll have to look at a better water cooler.

I'm not used to seeing the radiator and fan inside of the case, usually I see them top or rear mounted to get the air out. Looks like rear is rather small fan mounts. If you are drawing warm air over the radiator, you won't get as much cooling potential I assume?

 

[BigXor]

I ordered a Swiftech triple setup that will mount on top.

I show pics when finished.

Seems like high temps to me. I mean, you can use that cooler to cool a i7-3930k at stock and that's by default a hotter chip so you'd think you'd see headroom on yours.

Can't say, other than .022 micron design w/GPU integrated. Clock multiplier set to 44. RAM set to 1866. All other settings on auto. Voltage set to auto and goes to 1.224 according to CPU-Z. CPU drawing 125 watts.

Using Arctic Silver 5 TIM and running Intel Burn Test set to Very High creeps up to 82C before throttling down briefly.

Idles at 35C

EDIT: Prime95 set to small FFTs holds steady @73C, 105 watts. Looks like Intel test is much harder on CPU.
