HP Pc Watercooling potential?

[MrIceCremeLollipop]

Ok so im getting this pc and i want to possibly water cool it, there isn't really any point of doing this but i want it but i cant tell if i can mount a radiator in this case without drilling or cutting anything. Also what sizes would i need?  Thanks. Can anyone recommend a good aio cooler for less than £35 (55 dollars)

No point in water cooling it, The CPU is passively cooled. the CPU is (assuming) Locked, no benefit at all in water cooling it

Are you planing on overclocking? can you even overclock on the system?  if not then you don't need water cooling. id rather save my money on a new system because that looks like a pre made HP computer or something. what are the specs?

It would be better to invest into a future system or build since most OEM systems don't allow overclocking.

I'd pay you £35 to drown that PC in a lake, OP.

CPU isn't passively cooled. These HP ones have like a little wind tunnel with a 92mm fan in there, I used to sell them all the time at work. The heatsink is probably a bit bigger than the AMD stock one though.

I want to try overclocking this yes But i cant get a new pc all together because i am on a very very tight budget. it has a  athlon 4450b

any idea what socket the cpu uses?

[MrIceCremeLollipop]

It uses am2 socket. Not much room for upgrades. sad.

It has a locked multiplier so you can't really do overclocking on it, other than base clock which isn't recommend most of the time.

Im not great at overclocking, so why isnt it reccomended and if i did do the base clock what performance increse would i get?

If it's locked it basically means it cannot overclock at all but base clock is the frequency controls everything on the system, such as the PCI-E lanes RAM etc, if you change some times it can throw out a bunch of things making the system unstable. Most baseclock overclocks only gain about 5% at most so it's not worth the risk usually wiht such little gain

Ah.....Well thanks for your help.
