Procedure for liquid cooler- I am noob in this stuff...

[Jaskaran498]

Hello all
I purchased an Intel core i7 3770K. Yeah, setting this "K", there is no use of it unless we overclock and for overclock, we need a good cooler.
I will be overclocking to 4.5GHz. So I decided to buy corsair H100 as my cooler with its loops over my processor as well as my graphics card.
Everything is ok but I want to know what I need to do after mounting the cooler? I mean, when I mount cooler and make its loops over desired components, then to make it work, where/how do I need to pour water (distilled ofcourse)?
I googled a little but only found principles on which it works (that is, thermodynamics and stuff, which I already knew).
Sorry for asking such a stupid question.
But what do I need to do?
Can anyone please tell me complete procedure, I dont want to mess my 100000Rupees stuff!

With closed loop coolers, you don't need to fill it up or anything. Just a matter of mounting the block, screwing in the radiator and fans, then plugging it all in.
Require no maintenance other than an occasional dusting of the rad.

Also the H100 only cools the CPU, and cant be made to cool the GPU unless you get modding. If your looking to cool the whole rig with water, you need to build a custom loop.

The only All in one water cooling unit that can be expanded is the swiftech h220, which was demoed at CES2013. its not out yet but it has an msrp of 139$.(demoed by a preview video under linus' youtube page, had enough pumping power to power 2 680s/7970s and a cpu surprisingly.) other than that, you MUST use a custom loop if you want to upgrade water cooling.(which start at ~130 minimum for like an XSPC kit with a 120 rad)

If you want to you the custom route and cool the CPU and GPU, expect at minimum a 200 $USD investment.

Hmmmmmm....
I think I will buy separate fan for my mobo.
What fan is good to cool my ASRock z77 extreme 4?

As long as there is decent airflow through the case, your mobo temperatures wont be an issue.

The only 3 cooling fans I have are the ones that came default with my case (cooler master 690 2 plus). Other than those I have only corsair h100 as my processor cooler.
Will this be enough for my rough usage and temperature In my area sometimes reaches upto 50degree Celsius.
Is it all enough or do I need to purchase more fans?

Should be fine.

Should be fine.

Ok thanks.
