I am going to be overclocking my new pc in the near future and i want the very best temperatures and capability for my system to be running at its best.

i once read that a bigger reservoir means better temperatures.

the reservoir that comes with the kit is only this big [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

would i be better off getting one this big?. [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] .

the kit [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

"bigger reservoir means better temperatures."
how does this make any sense?
That res will be more than enough and you wouldn't need to worry.

What are your specs?

Nah, hold up. We went over this. You're wasting so much money. You won't even be overclocking. From your other threads, you should have gone with a 4440 but you may have gone with a 4690 on a restrictive board so what did you end up buying? I'm also almost positive you did not end up buying a case that has the space to fit that 360mm radiator.

On to the topic question- No, a bigger res will not give you better temperatures, a bigger(or more) radiator(s) will. That res is fine.

i havent got the pc yet but when it comes the CPU at stock is 4.4 GHZ and im gonna try to overclock around 4.6/4.7 something like that.

also what GPU would you reccomend for games like minecraft for under £200 GBG?

what i meant by better temperature is lower temperature so the cpu isnt too hot.

So you've bought an FX-9370? We know what you meant by temperatures, that's why we answered your question. We still can't help without knowing what components you bought.

LOL
9370
what a waste of money
1) it's an 8320 with a dank OC
2) Intel is better
3) an AIO will do you well, such as the NZXT Kraken X61, H110GT or Kelvin S36 if you can fit a 360 rad.

Don't if you don't want to but I've tried to help. There is reasons we suggest certain components and recommend staying away from others, it's because we know what we're talking about. 9370 is a huge waste, as is a custom loop.
