How to get started on watercooling CPU?

Legend001525 · Jul 10, 2014

I'm currently thinking whether I should watercool my cpu instead of air so how much would it cost to just watercool a i5 4690k? And any good brands to buy from? I prefer kits instead of doing it from scratch

You really don't need to but if you want to you can try any of the LGA1150 coolers from - http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=207_23

You just need a case you can mount the radiator on.

Would this be okay? And do I just plug it in and it'll work?

Yep - if it fits your case then go for it! It comes with instructions. The fiddly bit is fitting the radiator.

(looks at title) Heh, with a watercooler! :pt1cable:

Yeah just buy a kit, most compact watercooling kits will fit into the rear exhaust port of your case.
