It will fit in that case and don't worry about it leaking. Still, high-end air coolers perform as well for a lower price.

If you are going to overclock, might as well go high end and get a Swiftech H220. I've overclocked to 4.5 GHz on a i7 4960x 6 core extreme edition and it runs flawlessly. Plus it'll last you years so you won't need to replace it if you end up upgrading your PC.

I see that, is that better/equal to the corsair? Which should i get? Which, ultmately, will keep my CPU cooler? That's all i care about. Price wise, eh, id rather dosh out the money for something nicer.

I see that on newegg, and it looks exactly like the corsair, but more expensive, and out of stock.. whats the difference?

I use this cooler in all my systems it's by far my favorite of them all. It's a closed loop cooler it's a little pricey but it keep's your cpu cool and does it job looking sexy while doing it.

So what if it's out of stock, look at another site..? And compared to other coolers, it has one of the best performance stats out of the H series.

Look to this for reference comparing a lot of CPU coolers: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

If you really want the best just make your own custom loop, if you have a window you v9uld also add some colored fluid to make yoir rig look amazing.

The first thing you should have in your mind is; what do I want. If you straight away think that you dont want a huge air cooler covering your motherboard, then you don't want air. If you think you dont want to mount a rad then you don't want AIO water. And there is nothing wrong picking and choosing, because on the high end there really isn't much performance differential and the only downside is the price premium on AIO's.
