Water block for MSI H110 gaming micro ATX

[aplipinski]

Just as the title states. Anyone know what a good/compatible water block might be for the MSI H110 Gaming Micro ATX board. I didn't see a cpu cooling category so I put it here. I am just beginning my research into liquid cooling and could use some help. Thanks!

Ek brands are always good, OC cool, Alphacool and XSPC, but I would always opt for an EK water block they kind of one size fits all. As all the tools are normally provided for different sockets, also when you're getting the parts make sure you don't mix the metals like having a copper base and a nickel.

Alright rewind haha. Copper base of what and nickel of who? Can you explain that to me real quick?

When you have a water block for GPU or CPU or what ever you're cooling really they will either be a copper heat spreader or a nickel one, make sure you only use one of the other and the same with the fittings copper or nickel as well, as mix and matching them can cause the fluid to become conductive. For good tips look up JayzTwoCents on youtube, he is really good with the liquid cooling side of things.
