I have got a CM Storm Enforcer case and am looking to get a Deepcool Gamer Storm Maelstrom 240 CPU cooler. Will it fit?
 
Solution


No, it only supports 120mm radiators in the rear of the case.

A good quality air cooler can do a very good job-

Solution
Also keep in mind that most people go into the purchase of a CLC type cooler because of the perception that it will cool better than an equivalently priced air cooler. It won't; it can also be up to 12 times as loud.

I would also avoid any cooler than mixes an aluminum radiator with a copper block as here's what happens:

If you want to go to liquid cooling via an AIO, you'll need a case upgrade (Entoo pro or Luxe highly recommended) and a Swiftech H240-X or EK Predator
