What would you do, buy one and strip it all out ? Or leave it and see how it goes ?

If the temps are OK and it`s not to noisy, I would leave it as it is for the time being. Then when you`re ready to do a bit of overclocking, then get one.
Cheaper option would be a low profile air cooler.
 
It's not noisy at all, what low profile fan would fit into my case ? Would you link me one please, just don't want to brake the machine.
 
That`s the problem with mITX boards, getting a cooler to fit. An AIO cooler is properly your best option, as it wont interfere with anything.

Right, will I have to take out my motherboard then in order to fix it ?

and does the Aio cooler just plug into the motherboard cpu fan connecter like normal ?

and does the fan just connect by screws to the case inside ?
 
Yep remove the mobo, is the AIO is the Asetek type you attach the backplate and then screw the ring clamp to the front, don't do that up tight just yet, just loose enough to hold it on without falling off.

The screw the mobo back in place, then you can carefully put the heat sink part of the AIO in place, twist it slightly to align the clamp notches and start tightening the screws, opposite corners are recommended for order of tightening.

Once this is done the rad and fan screw to the rear of the case usually where the exhaust fan is.

Stock paste that comes on the AIO is fine, remember to take any protective bits off before putting the heat sink on top of the cpu
 
I usually screw the rad and fan in first btw, but if you have little room to work in carefully place the rad and fan someplace safe or have someone hold it for you while you do the CPU bracket screws up

its just that all I am doing is playing games, I don't intend to overclock the system. I have 2 standard bitfenix fans and 1 cpu fan. before I buy would that be ok or would you say buy a Aio fan ?

For now, just stick with what you have. If you are not overclocking and you don`t find the stock cooler to noisy, then leave it at that.
 
Does the H90 just have one lead that plugs into the motherboard, like the stock cooler does
? Because I'm going to get one if it does.
 
I've installed the h90 and now connect all cables back up now my computer won't turn on. There's just one light on at the side of the computer. Please help
