Hi I am new to this forum and I am planning my first build and i would like to water cool the system and the processor i have chosen for this build is an intel pentium g3258, i have been looking around to find a compatible water block but i have had no success and i am writing this to ask if there is one out there that will fit this processor. 

 

 

thanks  :)

The compatibility for cpu water blocks is down to the socket on the motherboard. Intel 1150, 1155, 2011 etc and AMD AM3+, FM1, FM2 etc.

If you looking at closed loop liquid cooler, it will fit almost all modern cpu types (including yours). If you want a custom loop, the cpu block will be compatible with nearly all cpu socket types.

Water blocks don't fit the processor, they fit the motherboard/socket.  Grab a Kraken x41/Kraken x61.

Please spend as much time writing your question, as you want me to spend responding to it.  Take some time, and explain your issue, please!
