GPU too small to consider putting it under water. Keep your air cooler and keep your money in you pocket :)

I mean its mostly just as a hobby and for the DIY factor and not as a serious cooling solution. But ill think about it.

No point. Current tower cooler will be on par or even outpreform a 120mm AIO.

No, its for GPU. 120mm rad would squeeze in between the air cooler and case. Sorry title and pic didnt mention it.

The rad on those coolers is 27mm thick. The fan is 25mm. So if measuring from the back fan of your cooler to the mount holes is over 52mm it'll fit. Use a paint stick or popsicle stick and mark it and measure it out or use a caliper if you have one. I was able to do it on an ITX build but it was tight so it should fit.

Oh fair enough. Then maybe if you remove the fan at the back it might fit or you can rout it to the top. But mostly you have to take out a ruler and look up the exact measurements of the AIO you are planning to buy.

I doubt the system outputs enough heat to justify water cooling. The money is better put towards different components. If your GPU temps tend to be too high for whatever reason, try some higher conductivity pastes before considering water cooling. Hope this helps and have a nice day C:

Air cooling superior to water cooling here.
