Hello!

I have a Phanteks PH-TC12DX right now for my i54670k in my armor revo gene mid tower. I want to overclock so I want a water cooler. Turns out my case isn't compatible with many, the only one I have found is the Thermaltake water 3.0 pro. All the H-100i and such don't fit, please let me kknow, I am buying soon. Also is it even worth the difference from the current CPU cooler?

Is it a 120mm mount? You need somewhere to mount the rad obviously. How big can you fit?  

If not just get a NHD15.

If you have at least one 120mm fan mount, you might try the H80i.

That will fit, right now I have 3 choices to my knowledge thus far! Either the Thermaltake water 3.0 pro, the SilverStone TD03 or the H80i, I am looking for great cooling aswell as not loud fans. Also Someone needs to really sell me on watercooling worth, I want to get it but I really want to justify the jump from my good air cooler(from my knowledgE) to any of my options.
