Water Cooler question

[gapcreat1967]

I currently have a Corsair H110 Dual 140mm Liquid Cooler installed in my computer. I'm replacing my mother board and CPU to a ASUS ROG STRIX Z370-E and i7-8700K. My question would be, can I use the liquid cooler I currently have? or do I have to replace it as well? If I have to replace it, which one you recommend?

Thanks in advance

No, your liquid cooler will work just fine. The only issue you may have is the bracket. What motherboard are you upgrade from and do you have the original hardware that came with the H110? If you are upgrading from a mainstream intel system, then your current bracket should work fine. But if it is an AMD system, then you will need to get the bracket from the original hardware provided.

Thanks for the reply, the motherboard I currently have is the ROG strix x99

You may need the original hardware because I think the x99 used a different bracket (but I could be wrong). Did you keep the hardware that came in the box?

I've been looking for it with no luck. Its been like 2/3 years.
While I have you here, can you check my list of parts? To make sure I'm not getting the wrong stuff?

1. MSI GAMING GeFroce GTX 1080 Ti 11GB GDRR5X DirectX 12 352-bit VR Ready Graphics Card (GTX 1080 TI GAMING X 11G)
2. Intel Core i7-8700K Desktop Processor 6 Cores up to 4.7GHz Turbo Unlocked LGA1151 300 Series 95W
3. Samsung 960 PRO Series - 1TB PCIe NVMe - M.2 Internal SSD (MZ-V6P1T0BW)
4. Corsair DOMINATOR PLATINUM 64GB (4x16GB) DDR4 3200MHz C16 Desktop Memory
5. ASUS ROG STRIX Z370-E

Thanks for your help

That looks good to me. Will be a really nice rig. Top of the line.

I took a look at the instructions for your cooler, and it uses the same bracket, but one of the screws is different for the x99 vs the 1151. If you reach out to corsair, they may provide you with the screws needed.

You could always upgrade. I have a 8700k in my gaming rig and I recently got the updated Corsiar H115i Pro. It is the 280mm radiator just like yours, but it has a better pump and comes with good ml140mm fans.

I really appreciate the time you spent on my stuff. Thanks a lot
