[SOLVED] Is it Fan or Radiator or Cpu cooler???

[NoRageNR]

Hi Guys, I'm new to desktop building and I need some help. I'm planning to build a gaming desktop which has a Hydro Series™ H115i RGB PLATINUM 280mm Liquid CPU Cooler. I'm not sure if that is a Radiator, Cpu Cooler or a Fan. Can someone specify what it is and tell me the differences of those? Thank you a lot!!

Its an AIO (All in One) liquid cooler which consists of a pump that moves the fluid from the heatsink that mounted to the motherboard on top of the CPU to the radiator which then have fans mounted to them to move the heat off.

It's a AIO (All In One) liquid cooler for your CPU. Since it's considered a CLC (Closed Loop Cooler) it requires no maintenance. The cooler is made up of a pump which is part of the heatsink which pumps the fluid throughout the AIO system. The radiator has fans attached to it which can either push and/or pull air through the radiator to cool the liquid.

It's all three.

So i can connect the H115I either to the above intel i9-9900k, fan support or radiator support?

I'm not sure what your asking exactly?... The fans are attached to the radiator and then the cables are usually connected to each other via a PWM fan splitter that is connected to the motherboard to control the fan speeds. There is also usually a cable (USB 2.0) that connects from the pump to the motherboard to control the pump speed.
