So, earlier this year I had to part out and sell off my gaming rig that had a 360mm AIO watercooler. After a few weeks, I realized that I had an old home media server sitting around collecting dust. So I threw in an old GPU I had sitting around and got to work.

 

Since then, I upgraded its Opteron 6276 to a Opteron 6386SE for less than $100 on Ebay, which actually does really well in games, including modern games. I then upgraded the 8GB XFX 290X for a EVGA 980ti Hybrid GPU I again got cheap from Ebay. For the time being, the setup seems to be balanced between the CPU and GPU for gaming at 3440x1440.

 

But my CPU is cooled with a (nice at the time) Noctua cooler designed for Socket G34. However with a GPU in the PCI-E 16x slot, I can only orientate the cooler in a pull configuration facing upwards.

 

So to my point, are there any known AIO CPU coolers, preferably 240mm, that have fittings available for a socket G34 motherboard, or am I essentially stuck with air cooling if I don't want to make a custom loop?

 

The motherboard is a supermicro h8sgl-f. Attached is a picture of what I have going on. The case is an AZZA Genesis 9000 I restored earlier this week.
