Brand new here and also new to building pc's in general. Built my first pc a couple months ago and looking into overclocking. Using a MSI 970-G43 mobo and Fx-6300 in a nzxt source 210.

I've been looking into prefilled water cooling solutions like the corsair H100i, but I cannot fit any sort or radiator with fans in my case because of how close the ram is. As shown in the pictures I can fit a fan, but a radiator wouldnt fit in addition to a fan.

I'd prefer to keep it simple but any after market cooling solution that fits and would be good for OCing would be great even if its not water cooling. I was just looking into things like the H100i because of the simplicity. I apologize in advance if this is a stupid question but you gotta start somewhere right?

Solution
Well basically you could get a closed loop cooler that uses only one fan on it, and put it to the back wall instead, then it should fit just fine.
The other option is to put the radiator on the outside of the case but that might need some work on the case itself.

Any idea how that would compare to one with 2 fans? Or should I leave it up to newegg reviews to tell me

Awesome thanks. Any suggestions on brand/model? I'm looking at corsair and cooler master now, they seem to have the best feedback.
