I have no knowledge of liquid cooling.I'l be buying a NZXT Noctis 450. I read that it has liquid cooling? How does it work? Do i have to install it my self or something? Does liquid cooling only cool the cpu? If yes should i not buy the hyper 212 evo for my i5-4690K?If i dont use the liquid cooling feature will my cpuhyper 212 evo cooler fit easily? Thanks
How does liquid cooling work?

liquid cooling for home PCs is a bit of a hobbyist/gimmick thing.
Compared to good quality air cooling its more expensive, less reliable and much more of a hassle for basically the same performance.
Coolermaster is budget but it will do the job. It's sufficient. If youve got a bit more $ get a Noctua - such as U14s.
A big dumb block of metal with a good quality fan works. There's no pumps to fail or get noisier over time.

it supports liquid cooling. I do not think it comes with a liquid cooler. it has a special internal space for a radiator instead of an external option, hence the liquid cooler SUPPORT. there are coolers that can cool the GPU at the same time. it depends on the cooler in question.
any cooler will work in that case privided it fits, but if you have a watercooler then this case is extra easy to use.

It means that the case does support all in one water coolers, although you don't need to buy any water cooling and the Hyper 212 evo should work fine, you just need to make sure it clears the side panel (isnt too tall for the case), i hope this helps.

the nzxt noctis 450 is a case not a cooler ,, the hyper 212 evo is air cooling heat sink it does not have any watercooling features ,, simply when you see any cpu block connected to a rad with fans on the rad the it's watercooling like an eg here is a link to water cooler > http://amzn.com/B00SV7IEJI that what called closed watercooler now when you see everything seprated pump,res,rad then it's custom watercooling
hope this helped

Well, NZXT Noctis is a PC Chassis not a cooler, which supports water cooling features. You have to buy a CPU/GPU AIO liquid coolers in order to cool the CPU/GPU or else you can go for a custom water loop which I don't think you should try as it is time consuming and not cost efficient compared to AIO liquid coolers for CPUs/GPUs.
Here are links of some AIO liquid CPU coolers which will be compatible with your Chassis:
