Hey. I thinking of buying either water cooling or a New fan to cool my AMD FX-4170. Problem is the Tower im using is not built for all types of cooling systems (http://www.dustinhome.no/product/5010335510/cooler-master-miditower-elite-310-atx-black-orange/). So what kind of cooling would you guys recommend for me to keep my cpu temp down, but in a silent way. Watercooling would be Nice if that is possible :)

That is a very nice cooler. Btw have you got any knowledge about NZXT coolers, they look nice but it is about looks thats it or is there something above that.

As far as Air Cooling goes, I would recommend the Havik 140, great cooler.

As far as Liquid Cooling goes, Kraken x60 is one of the top cpu coolers and x40 is not bad at all.
