I'm planing to buy CoolerMaster Nepton 240M but i don't know will it fit on top in case with fans outside? So if anyone has the same or similar setup ill be thankful if you can clear all my doubts about this purchase.

Thanks in advance.
 
What do you want to cool?

My canned rant on liquid cooling:
------------------------start of rant-------------------
You buy a liquid cooler to be able to extract an extra multiplier or two out of your OC.
How much do you really need?
I do not much like all in one liquid coolers when a good air cooler like a Noctua NH-D15 or phanteks can do the job just as well.
A liquid cooler will be expensive, noisy, less reliable, and will not cool any better
in a well ventilated case.
Liquid cooling is really air cooling, it just puts the heat exchange in a different place.
The orientation of the radiator will cause a problem.
If you orient it to take in cool air from the outside, you will cool the cpu better, but the hot air then circulates inside the case heating up the graphics card and motherboard.
If you orient it to exhaust(which I think is better) , then your cpu cooling will be less effective because it uses pre heated case air.
And... I have read too many tales of woe when a liquid cooler leaks.
google "H100 leak"
-----------------------end of rant--------------------------

Your pc will be quieter, more reliable, and will be cooled equally well with a decent air cooler.

I have very good ventilated case and i will not top as an intake ill exhaust hot air from radiator on top. The CoolerMaster aint that loud and its about the same price as NH-D15 but its smaller and i think that it performes better.

Well the case is CoolerMaster HAF912 plus (You can see that from the tittle of the thread)
Rest are:

Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0
AMD FX-8350 1.41Vcore planing nice OC for it curently on 4.2Ghz
Asus GTX760 DCIIOC 2Gb
Kingston 2x4Gb HypreX Fury
Seasonic M12IIEVO 620W Bronze 80+

I aint much of an noise freak i listen to music very loud and while playing games i play with headphones so i dont mind that is a few Db noisier.
