How can I cool my AMD 9590

[Kribbins]

I got an AMD 9590 but it seems my case won't fit a corsair h100 or a kraken X60. Is it possible to cool an AMD 9590 with a h90 or X60 or do I have to get a new case?

CPU: AMD 9590 @4.7GHz
Motherboard: Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0 ATX AM3+ Motherboard
Case: Zalman Z9 Plus ATX Mid Tower Case

Any help will be appreciated and thanks in advance

I would suggest a new case. the 9590 gets insanely hot. an NXZT Source 530 should fit your Kraken nicely.

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm assuming that case will for my motherboard and a GTX 970 with 2 sticks of ram? I'm pretty new to computer building

You always can put h100 radiator outside case 😉

Yes the source 530 is an enormous case and will fit your board with all the trimmings and a number of liquid cooling systems combined.
Alternatively you can do as DeathRabit suggests and mount the Radiator of the H100 on the outside of the case. if you are unsure how to do this then Search youtube for "externally mounting H100" and you will find a vast selection of how to videos. Singularity Computers have excellent videos but they work exclusively with Custom water systems. dont think they do any prebuilts. the concept of externally mounting is the same though.

Thanks you both for your answers. I think mounting the h100 externally is a better option then buying a new case just for the cooling.
