Hi everyone!
I screwed up royally when ordering my new PC! I won a bequiet! Silent Base 600 Orange with window! Hurrah - thank you Custom PC Magazine! So I went ahead and ordered a bit of kit (Okay a lot of kit) to put in it. I see how they got me!
I am running an i7 6700k Processor. I was wanting it to be watercooled so following the recommendation of Custom PC Magazine, I ordered the NZXT X41 Kraken! And to my horror, it doesn't fit the case. A complete oversight on my part, and I am really ******* annoyed with myself!
SO
What can anyone recommend? I am going to overclock it of course, I don't want to go above the price I've already spent on the cooler, and I want to go all in one as I just don't have the confidence to get a block and pumps etc.
Can anyone recommend a 120mm fan/radiator all in one water cooled kit, OR a fan kit that would also do the trick? I am tempted to go back to the Noctua NH-U12P again. but can anyone recommend anything please? Is the X31 worth running with?
Before anyone says anything, I've tried putting the X41 on the top mount, it doesn't fit, the fan/radiator is too thick. and the rear mount is 120mm. I don't mind doing a top mount CPU Cooler if someone can recommend that though.
Other specs are Asus Maximus Ranger VIII, 16gb Corsair Vengance (With a freaking top mounting fan, do I need it really?) nVidia GTX980 Asus Strix, 240gb Sandisk Ultra II SSD, 4tb Toshiba drive, RM750i modular psu.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
