Hello guys.. I'm looking for custom water cooling loop for haf 912 plus.. Do you think my components are gonna be better than corsair h100i ? i have 120mm copper radiator .. Some 120mm fan + http://www.amazon.com/Yosoo%C2%AE-DC12V-Cooling-Exchanger-Cooler/dp/B00VHPADRW/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1452892866&sr=1-1&keywords=water+pump+cooling + http://www.amazon.com/Universal-Computer-Cooling-Radiator-Connector/dp/B00T2Q5LI4/ref=sr_1_13?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1452893634&sr=1-13&keywords=waterblock
It should be cooling just CPU and i i dont plan cooling GPU.. ( it is just because i can not have big radiator inside my case so i can't have sealed water cooling) Thaks for all replies :)

Well, not really, but you're still only allowing yourself to have a 120mm radiator worth of cooling space? The problem is that 'just having a radiator' doesn't mean you have enough to cool what you need to cool. The reason that most 120mm closed loop coolers do not perform well is that they only have a 120mm (cheap aluminum) radiator and a poor pump. The pump you have listed will be better than a Corsair H100i pump, but you also have 50% the radiator size it does. If you didn't overclock your CPU, you would likely be fine, but if you plan to overclock, you are going to exceed the thermal capacity of the radiator unless you have higher speed fans (3000+ RPM) to compensate.

Plus, the 'HAF' series cases are designed to be 'High Air...

Plus, the 'HAF' series cases are designed to be 'High Air Flow' cases (thus the meaning behind the acronym for the name) so they aren't designed for 2x120 or 2x140 radiators in mind, necessarily.

Here is my thinking: If you are running stock CPU speeds, you can find a decent closed loop cooler that would work, or go with a good air cooler. If you are overclocking your CPU and you have already purchased your components, you're going to want to run that single 120mm radiator with fans in push/pull.
