NZXT Kraken X31 With AMD FX 6300

[ZEUSKIE]

I'm looking into buying a new cpu cooler for my fx 6300. And I was wondering if the NZXT Kraken X31 would be a good choice.
I have a NZXT S340 case.

And another question where should I mount the radiator I'm want to be able to see the fan so I am going to be having the fan on the inside of the case, but I don't know where I should put the rad I'm thinking in the top front of my S340
Is this ok.?

And I was wondering if I need to change my fan for the Kraken rad I will be using a NZXT FZ 120mm fan, as far as I am aware that that fan is a airflow fan not a static pressure fan so will it do the job for a rad fan. If it won't I will buy a Static pressure Thermaltake Riing fan.

The X31 would be a good cooler for the FX 6300

I would mount the rad so the fan blows hot air out of the case. Probably at the rear fan mount . That would give you a clear unobstructed top fan to move air out .
Some people argue that having a water cooler as an intake fan is best since the rad is being fed cooler air, but everything else in the case will be slightly hotter.

Dont worry about changing the fan . NZXT designed that one for a reason .
