Need to buy a new cooler for my amd fx6300. I use my computer for gaming so need something that will keep the temp down while playing high end stuff. Also plan on doing an overclock so something that could handle that aswell. Any suggestions would be great.

What I posted is a closed loop. 0 maintenance, besides blowing some compressed air like on any other cooler. It will not leak, you do not need to change the liquid ever, and it installs just as any air cooler would.

upon inspection the h100 will not fit regularly into that case. Here's an image of what you would need to do. All the other single rad models will fit no problem with a vry little difference in cooling though. http://sphotos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/231184_10151285563291391_960287950_n.jpg

Yes, that will fit happily onto the back exhaust of your case and you can place the fan that was previously there onto the top for extra exhaust.

Yes, preapplied thermal compound, all the hardware for both amd and intel mounting, AMD is actually easier lucky you :) as well as a fan.
