Hello Guys , 
Guys i want to know your thoughts for CORSAIR HYDRO SERIES H60 
and by removing my existing fan on the back on my case and replacing it with the Corsair Hydro Series H60, will my PC overall run hotter? Or does the fan in the water cooler cool the entire PC as well as the CPU?

<p>Wish I could have this already!! : http://pcpartpicker.com/p/qTLRjX

This is my case NZXT S340 Mid Tower

I think you could put the liquid cooler on the top and not have to move the fan from the rear, or you could put the liquid cooler on the rear and move the fan to the top. Either way should work fine.

RIG: CPU: i5 6600k @4.8GHz 1.34v  CPU Cooler: H100i  Motherboard: Asus Z170-AR  RAM: Corsair Vengence LPX 2400 (2x8GB)

 

HDD: Seagate Baracuda 2TB  SSD: Samsung 850 Evo 500GB/PNY 240GB  GPU: Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970  PSU: EVGA G2 650W

The fan in the back of the case doesn't directly cool any components, per se. That fan just pulls warm air out of the case..

 

Removing that fan to put in a radiator with fan won't make any difference in the fact that warm air will still be being pulled out of the case through that opening.. Everything will perform pretty much the same as before..

 

 

As for the H60 itself; it's one of the lower-cost watercooling kits.. It performs well enough, but don't expect to be able to run some crazy >5 Ghz overclock on your CPU (not that 5 Ghz is likely anyway).

i7 not perfectly stable at 4.4.. #firstworldproblems

as long as the watercooler moves as much air as your stock case fan, it wont make a difference.

That back fan pulls hot air out of the case so by removing it and install the Cooler fan which absorbs air from outside the hot air will still in the case 

so how does the hot air get out ???

and about the cooler itself i'm not gonna overclock at that crazy 5 GHZ just i want it just for the appearance of the case 

because i don't like the way my Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO look like

I think you should go for a cooler master hyper 212 evo instead. h60s don't really perform better than those, and usually cost more. When it comes to "low" end coolers, I wouldn't get a liquid cooler.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

I already have it 

i just wanted to change to a watercooler but unfortunately i don't have enough money for those crazy 120$ watercooler 

Can you Recommend any other watercooler ?

Simple: You put the fan on the radiator in the same way that the case fan was facing. It will pull air out the back the same way that the previous fan did.

Unfortunately they all suffer from the same problem: not as good as similarly priced air coolers. 240mm versions barely pull it off because they still perform to the top of the field and are usually more comfortable to mount than stuff like the noctua nh-d15, which (although excellent when it comes to cooling) is the size of a human head. Stay with what you have, if you want lower temperatures either up your budget or look at something like a noctua NH-U9B SE2 or nh-d14 (yes, the nh-d14 is also quite massive, but performs like a 240mm liquid cooler for 50 bucks less).

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨
