Hello Everyone,

I wanted to get a liquid cooler for my i7-4770. I obviously won't be doing any OC'ing because it's not a K unit CPU, but I wanted it for aesthetics. This is something that I'm not really sure on because when I went to get my Gemini M4 cooler, it said it would fit, but it didn't. Most recently I had my eye on the Corsair H80i GT, so I wanted to know if that would fit.

For extra information, this is my mobo and CPU:
Mobo: http://www.asrock.com/mb/intel/h81m/
CPU: http://ark.intel.com/products/75122/Intel-Core-i7-4770-Processor-8M-Cache-up-to-3_90-GHz

Thanks for the input everyone!
 
You can use PCPARTPICKER as a guide. Make a "build" with just your CPU listed, then filter to show only the liquid coolers and start investigating those.

Confirm from the actual website that it supports your socket.

I'll have a quick look and try to make a recommendation.

*You also want to look at how the FAN works as some are always needlessly loud with poor fan control.

I used PCPartpicker last time I built my pc and that's what said the gemini m4 would work. Unfortunately, when I got to assembling I quickly found out it did not work.
