Posted January 17, 2015 Hey all, I am hoping to save up for a new water cooler for my CPU. It's my first time doing this and I am wondering what would be the best one to go for for the money Current Specs: I7 4770k @3.5GHz 16GB RAM Nvidia GTX 760 Superclocked 4GB Edition Windows 8.1 Pro 64 Bit Aerocool Strike-X Advenced Mid Tower Gaming Case- White http://www.amazon.co...s=x strike case (Will a dual fan watercooler fit in this case?) All help is appriciated Thanks all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted January 17, 2015 Probably a CM seidon 240m -edit- from the third review on amazon: *this cannot incorporate a water cooler in it even a h60.

Posted January 17, 2015 Auto font and the Corsair H100i in the front or the Corsair H80i in the back. But with a case like that I'd stay on air Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted January 17, 2015 I really like my H100i, but I've heard great things about the Kraken lineup of coolers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted January 17, 2015 Is that your current system or are you buying that? Will you be overclocking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted January 17, 2015 From their website, the biggest thing you cud fit is a 12x2 rad in the front Bleigh! Ever hear of AC series? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted January 17, 2015 Personally I am using the Kraken x61. It performs very well and quietly, the NZXT CAM software serves as a monitoring tool and lets you setup custom fan curves specifically for the cooler, which I found very helpful. Installation is easy as pie as well. I would definitely recommend this bad boy and any smaller ones if you're set for space. Case: Meatbag, humanoid - APU: Human Brain version 1.53 (stock clock) - Storage: 100TB SND (Squishy Neuron Drive) - PSU: a combined 500W of Mitochondrial cells - Optical Drives: 2 Oculi, with corrective lenses.

I have about 28-29 cm on the top of my case. Is that enough or do i need say a few cm on each side ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 17, 2015 Cooling options in this case: - Side Cooling: 1x 120mm (20.9 dB(A) 1200RPM Red LED)- Rear Cooling: 1x 120mm (20.9 dB (A), 1.200 RPM Red LED)- Top Cooling: 1x 140mm (25 dB(A), 1200RPM Red LED)- Front Cooling: 2 x 120 mm (optional)- Bottom Cooling: 1x 120mm (optional) So there is room for water cooling, but it will be many small once, instead of 1 big one.

You CAN fit a 240mm radiator in there I THINK, I can't speak on how much clearance you have with the fans on.

Thanks, will the fan clearance depend on how far up my motherboard is ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
