Have a quick question. I am a beginner with water cooling.I Want to put one since i am going to be over clocking soon. So my question is, is it possible to mount a water cooling component to a already build PC? The component i will be putting is the Swiftech h220x

It's posible but:

- Need to have some knowledge to replace th cpu fan with the waterblock (usually need to remove all the mb from the case to fix the backplate of the waterblock, and that include all the components fixed to the mb to put them again when you mount back the mb to the case)
- Probably you will need to replace the thermal compound of the cpu
- Need space in the case to fix the radiator, in you case seems like 2x120mm fans in the top of the case.
- The mb need 2 fans headers, usally that is no problem.
