Personally if you are going to do water cooling I would get a full water cooling kit instead of that. Otherwise I would just get a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO instead. I have used a sealed water cooler once, the H100i, and would never use them again. The led lighting went out in the first month and then about 2 months later the pump went out. I sent it back for a warranty repair about 4 weeks ago so far have not heard anything from them yet.

Since then I got a XSPC Raystorm 750 EX360 Extreme Universal CPU Water Cooling Kit and it is great. I would never recommend a sealed water cooler again.
