Want to switch to liquid cooled and completely inexperienced with it.
Buying a new case, need the room to go to liquid, what would be a nice easy fit for the case that's in the link?

Please and thank you :D appreciate any help!

I know shes a little dated :cry:

feel free to pm also!

/e red/black tubes would be nice, unless I have to custom order them.

/double edit, also want to get new fans all around, sooo any info on that would be good too, beyond just sizes and such. After info like fan directions and brand quality.

prefer to keep it at or under 150 for cooler and fans

All in one liquid cooler or a custom cooling loop?


If AIO cooler, then: http://pcpartpicker.com/product/CrDzK8/corsair-cpu-cooler-cw9060025ww

Either tbh, all in one would be nice, but if you cant get any customization to the hoses on pre built ones id really like to follow the red/black until i decide to upgrade again.
not the end of the world if its plain black

I would recommend going with the AIO cooler that Ghot posted above. a custom loop will cost you a lot of money that you should probably put into upgrading your PC anyway
How much are you looking to spend? o.o.

Awesome! looks like it will do the job just fine! so do i just mount the radiator to a fan mount then fan on top of that?

literally my first time even looking into this stuff :O

It depends on how you want to mount the radiator. The H100I v2 has a 240mm radiator so you'll be able to mount them with 2x 120mm fans. Many people recommend doing a push/pull config but that would require some space in your case, Do you know what case you have?

Lol the ONLY decent thing In that build is actually the case xD

The h100 will fit in the front and in the top.
Most people prefer in the top with fans exhaust

Yeah the case is in the pcpartpicker link in op. Looks like maybe I could mount in on the top?

Yeah its a few years old, and having cooling issues, thanks though and it handles everything I play just fine on ultra settings, once it doesn't do that I'll upgrade.

If I bought a new computer every time it wasn't top of the line i'd be broke and still playing the same games

Oh thought you already had the c400 case and wanted to upgrade that part. Why I was confused for a moment.

Ah shoot, didn't see the case in the link. My bad! Yeah i would just mount it on top though the front would probably give better temps on the CPU.
If money is an issue I believe I've seen the H100i v2 go for like 80 bucks so you'd just have to wait on a deal.
