AIO LiquidCooler Help

rockero_8727 · December 17, 2014

So I built my first computer about 2 years ago and I want to get into liquid cooling. I was thinking of buying a Swiftech H220X or a CoolerMaster Nepton 240M. I'd prefer the H220X but my main concern is that either it won't fit in my Cougar Evolution Case or that it will interfere with my CORSAIR Vengeance memory or my MSI Z77 MPower motherboard. I would like to hear your thoughts and opinions.

if this is the case you are talking about http://www.cougar-world.com/products/pc_case/evolution.html then you shouldn't have an issue with 240mm or 120mm AIO's for the ram being an issue it wont be because watercoolers don't hang over the ram... if the motherboard is LGA 1150, 2011, 2011-3 you will be fine most if not all manufactures give you the different brackets for each socket

Pardon me if I'm being a newbie here but doesn't Swiftech's H220-X have a reservoir and Pump that hangs down from the actual radiator itself? That seems to be my only concern. Also, is $115.00 USD a good price for a new H220-X?

oh sorry didn't look at the H220-X i guess that could be dependant on hardware in the way the nepton should have any issue however
