I have an s340 elite and I want to water cool it. When checking compatibility it saw that it was possible but the mounting points where limited for pump/res combos. Will this kit fit into my case?

I only plan on cooling the cpu, its a r7 2700x

Is there something wrong with the h100? Wouldn't really go custom for just a cpu. Lot of money for little to no gains.

 

But you could get mounts that will adapt the pump to the radiator so you wouldn't need a place to put it in the case itself.

It is having some issues but nothing to big yet. The reason I want to change is because the h100i is starting to show its age and thermals are getting worse (idk why I got it refurbished from ebay mabye that has something to do with it). Also i plan on cooling the gpu eventually and I want that to be easier when I eventually do.

That can work assuming you can fit more rad space. Scenarios where a 240 can cool 2 components effectively are rare.

If it doesn't cool well I can add another 120 in the back. It will be ugly but work.

Rear mounted CPU/GPU rads aernt ugly at all! At least not IMO

The kit you linked will "fit", but the pump will have to be mounted creatively and I dont know if it will be any better than the h100I you currently have (unless you add more RADs)

i was gonna add a second rad and by ugly I meant having one in the front and one In the back and having them in the same loop, but it doesnt matter either way because I decided better temps wasn't worth the effort or money i would have to put in.
