Hey guys, I'm thinking of upgrading to water cooling, probably something like corsair h80i but i need help to know if it is going to fit into my case without making a problem to other components. And also i need help choosing the water cooler. I'm thinking for about 100 EUROS.

 

THIS is my case.

CPU: i7 3770k

 

Thanks in advance. 

 

 

(I can try uploading photos of my pc if you guys need.)

It looks like the H80i is the best you can have while fitting in your case. 

The H80i will do okay on overclocking (depends on your house temp.)

Wait, your case has a 200mm fan on the top. Will the Kraken X40 (140mm) fit. Does your case have extra holes?

Or you can mount the NZXT Kraken X40 on the rear exhaust fan mount.

I think you can only do the NZXT Kraken X40 because your case does not have 120mm fan mounts.

And mount the radiator at the rear? At rear i have a fan that is for exhaust, isn't the fan that is going to the radiator supposed to be an intake?

You can exhaust through a radiator as long as your case is getting good airflow. 

And you should have more intake than exhaust. 

 

And yes, mount the radiator in the rear.
