hello,
I have a B350M PRO-VDH from msi and I am selecting the amd ryzen 5-1600 cpu.and I want to buy a water cooling system for it.
now I looked at the web and found several of them.but I wasn't so satisfied with it.the most I could get out was the Cooler Master MasterLiquid Lite 120 .
now is this mother board AM4 or it supports AM4?because it dosnt said what size it is and it saids that it supports AM4.
any ways ,if any one can suggest a water cooling for this mother board.
also do I need to put ant terminal paste or what ever paste people call it.and do I need to buy the liquid or normal water is enough?



budget, 65-70 USD.
thank you.

That cooler supports your motherboard out of the box, so you wouldnt need any...

That cooler supports your motherboard out of the box, so you wouldnt need any extra brackets or anything like that, it would be your safest bet for a novice.

Its already pre filled and sealed so you dont need to buy any liquid, you only need liquids for a custom wter cooling build.

And finally it will already have thermal paste on the bottom, so all you need to do it remove your old cooler, remove the old thermal paste off the top of the CPU and fit the new cooler.

Id always recommend having spare thermal paste around, something like Noctua NT-H1 is a great one, what if you ever need to remove the cooler again ? everytime you remove the cooler you need to remove the old thermal paste and re-apply it.

Noctua NT-H1 is the paste.

Yes, get the water cooler you listed.
Cooler Master MasterLiquid Lite 120

the other in that range that support AM4 out of the box are the:
MasterLiquid 120
MasterLiquid 240

everything else they do you need to order a seperate AM4 mounting kit for. http://www.coolermaster.com/amd-am4-ryzen-compatability/en/

Should beable to screw it straight on to the existing back plate, all the parts will come with it hence it being an All In One (AIO) as for fitting it, for that you'll need to use the instructions supplied with it, pretty easy though.
