pc water cooling

[CaptainFluffyBear]

I recently build a pc, but the airflow is so bad, it runs cooler with the side panel off... So I want to buy a water cooler for my CPU. (FX6300 AM3+ socket) I was thinking about the i55 from corsair but will it fit in my case? (SPEC-01 from Corsair)
Thanks and sorry for my bad English.

The best price/performance ration is Cooler Master Seidon 120V. I have had it on i5 4670K @ 4.4GHz and FX-6350 @ 4.3GHz and my temps were quiet cool. For the price that it is, it's a great closed loop cooler. I'd highly recommend it. Also, it will fit in your case.

Thanks! But where do I mount it? Does it come with thermal past? How many times a year do I need to refresh the fluid?

You mount it on top of your CPU and you usually mount the radiator as exhaust in the back. IMO closed loop coolers are easier to install then air.
You don't change any fluid, you slap it on and you're good to go, there's no maintance.
Just look up a couple videos on youtube on how to mount a closed loop cooler, it's easy.
Also, it comes with thermal paste but you should always buy it seperately that way you get the good kind that will knock off a couple degrees.
