I need a water cooler compatible with AM3+ that is like $94 and under. Right now i have the Antec KUHLER H2O 920 selected but i would like one the mounts on the top of the case.

However i've herd that top mounted ones can interfere with the 24 pin power connector.

I would appreciate your feedback, Thank You

Why do you want a water cooler? Most of them are going to be outperformed for less money by an air cooler.

That being said, I'd reccommend doing some more research - there is no such thing as a "top mounted" or "not top mounted" water cooler... it becomes top mounted when you mount it to the top of the case. If you mounted it to the side of the case, it would be side mounted.

whatever you call it a 220 mil heat sync, i want a water to lessen the amount of heat being dispersed inside the case

Erm... that sounds like a problem with the airflow within the case, and it's not going to be solved with a water cooler - they're pulling cool air in and pushing the hot air into the case.

Tell us what case you have, as the 920 is a very good water cooler, but need to know if it will fit.

Okay but like i said i dont want to spend over $94, its fine if its more than $94 as long as it has a rebate card that drops it below $94
