Hi!

I have a Corsair Obsidian 550D case and I want to install a CPU cooler on it but I want to keep the case quiet( I don't want to install anything on the top of the case.). So is the Corsair H90 a good choice?(For rear mounting?)

My mobo is a Gigabyte Z68AP-D3 rev 1.0
CPU:i7 2600k (stock)

Thanks.

Btw: Can anyone tell me how the fans work on this rear mounted H90? Are they bad for airflow going through the GPU's?

any of the corsair single RAD units would work fine... mounted as exhaust. really just depends how much you want to spend... as they go from $40 to $100,
for what essentially is bigger rads and better fans

read the reviews, some kits have loud fans

Thanks for your answers. I read a lot of reviews but couldn't find any opinion on how loud the H90 is. Btw: Will H90 fit in the 550D? (rear mount) Corsair site says it does but i wanted to ask about it here first to be sure. Last question: Does the kit come with fans?

Thanks.
