Watercooling Solution over Air

[killersheep34]

Hi there.

Currently cooling my CPU via a Thermalright 120 which is already excellent cooling however, I fancy giving watercooling a try.

My question is, with my current case, I'm fairly limited to what sort of radiator I can fit, CM690 (and I don't really want to change the case because I love it), would a 120mm radiator sufficiently cool the water quickly enough for an E6750 @ 3.6ghz, with room for more overclocking? Or would the thermalright probably perform better?

I measured up to fit a dual 120mm rad on the top of the case, however, the top fans would need to be moved, and I'd need low profile fans for this, to which I can not find a uk supplier of 120 x 120 x 20!!! They are all 25mm. So a single 120mm rad maybe the only way for me.

Thanks in advance.

Edit: By the way, I don't want any of this silly external mounting rubbish.

If it was silly and rubbish i wouldn't be using it

What makes an externally mounted radiator " Rubbish " ?

You obviously know more than me about Watercooling

Point taken.

It's not practical for me as I move my system around a lot and feel an external radiator mounting would be delicate.
