So I am looking for preferably a closed loop cooler for an i5 4670k such as the h80i or something. I dont really want a massive heatsink because it'll make my case look awful.
I was wondering what H** type liquid cooler fits the i5 4670k and whether they come with thermal paste applied!
I'd also like to know how they work, it say liquid cooled, but do i pour water into it or does it come with it?

You can mount either a single 120mm or 140mm radiator in the rear, and in the top you can mount up to a triple 120mm radiator, or a dual 140mm radiator. I would recommend using alcohol to remove the thermal paste - putting water on an expensive CPU is not a particularly good idea, but using paper towel to wipe it off should work fine

ALL Hydro series coolers will fit ANY LGA1150 CPU, it comes down to budget and case. And they do come with their own thermal compound (or pad), you just need to apply that.
You just have to join it up, it comes with everything (including coolant, not water) in built. The coolant carries the heat inside the tubes to the radiator where it blows the heat off, it's as simple as it can be :)

You could get any AIO that will fit in your case and your budget. Without exception, they will all work with your CPU, and most come bundled with thermal paste. Even if they don't, you can buy it for a couple of pounds off amazon. AIO watercoolers are very maintenance free - they come prefilled, so all you need to do is attach the radiator and fans to your case, and the waterblock/pump combo to your CPU socket

okay thanks!
Just wondering, because i'm a little worried about 2 things:
If I have to remove thermal compound from my cpu I will HAVE to use alcohol right? Can I use paper towels dampened with water? I'm concerned putting liquid this close to my system.
I have the phantom 530 case and want to install it on the back fan or mount it to the top, however I dont know the correct size of them, so I dont know which cooler to get!
