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 :p :p

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?

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 :)

Ok buddy.
Thanks :D
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 ?

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

Adding upto the comfusion :p, 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 :D :D

From where are you getting Noctua D14 at the first place? :p
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. :)

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?

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