Hi Yall.
I have just ordered the I5 2500k 4.6 overclocked bundle online with the asus pro mobo and 8gb of ram,i have read in the reviews from a guy that put it in an antec 900 case and he said he had to remove the side case fan to clear the cpu cooler,now my question is if i fit a water cooler kit like the corsair H80,will it affect my warranty as i am fitting it an antec900 case also?

unless its a pre-built system then the the cpu cooler wouldn't come pre-installed from what I've read, you have to attach the cooler when you get it(apperentlly they leave the cpu in the socket in the motherboard so no need to put the cpu in).

so instead of fitting the cooler that comes with the bundle just use the closed loop liquid cooler. the antec kuhler 920 is £10 cheaper and gives similar results, unless you're really planning on pushing it the 620 would prob be better ~ £45.
 
Thanks Fowler,the Kuhler 920 looks good and you can control the fans from the desktop suits me fine,cant wait to get this in with a new copy of win 7 64 so i can get to flying the black shark,but knowing my luck i will have to replace my GTX 260 sonic 2165P card (hope it lasts a little while),here's praying.

Hi there>
OC bundle arrived today (thanks OC)
There is no way air fan will fit case without leaving side panel off (not an option), so looking at the Kulher920 kit but have read the fans could be a bit loud,do any of you have a recommendation for replacement fans in a push pull config ,looking for straight forward replacement( want to get up and running for xmas)
