Hi guyz , I own a Zalman z9 plus case and I decided to upgrade my cpu cooling system. I currently have a Hyper 212 evo to keep my cpu cool.The problem is that I don't know what watercooler will fit in my case . I read that a custom watercooler will fit . So my question is : What cpu watercooler would fit in my z9 case .Thanks in advance.


My pc specs :
MB : Gigabyte Z68p-ds3
CPU : i5 2500 (non K ) 3.30 - 3.60 GHz
RAM : 6 GB 1333 MHz
CPU Cooler : Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO
GPU : AMD Radeon HD 6850 Windforce edition 1 GB - GDDR5
PSU : Coolermaster B600 80+
HDD : WesternDigital 500 Gb

Custom water cooler stands for custom made water cooling loop, where builder uses reservoir tank, lays down custom bent tubing (usually made out of transparent rubber/acrylic mix) and can connect CPU, MoBo and GPU into one big loop. Like seen here:

The thing you can have without all that building hassle is all-in-one water cooler, commonly known as AIO water cooler. Like seen here:

As far as AIOs go, and if you want to have cooling performance increase over your Hyper 212 EVO, then you need to look towards 240mm or 280mm rads. You can mount 240mm or 280mm rad as top exhaust in your Z9 Plus case.
Here are best 240mm and 280mm rad AIOs with reviews,
