Hello chaps,

Ive bought the cm 690 III which apparently comes with a free Seidon 120V CPU Cooler. Ive no idea what this is apart from a watercooler.. Ive never used water cooling before. Will this cooler work on a x99 (5820k) and is it reliable/easy to install???

Cheers
 
It's an All In One cooler. You don't have to use it, you can install an air cooler or even the intel stock cooler.

I've never used a Seidon 120v but the 120 mm rad alone would put me off.
 
Oh I would use it, itll save me £70 instead of getting the relavent Noctua heatsink, I just wanted to know if it was compatible with 2011-3 socket. Is it a bad cooler then?

I'm not saying it's a bad cooler per se, but you've bought a K chip so you're likely to overclock and with a meager 120mm of radiator available I'd be amazed if it was enough to cope with temperatures at medium overclocks.
 
Aye, thats the plan.. as long as it fits in a HAF X with those chunky looking ripjaws :), im going to return the cm 690 III anyway, as it turned out to have a window (no in the picture) and the 200mm fans it said it could fit, didnt fit.
