Hi all
I just bought an old but unused 478 corsair hydrocool 200ex water cooler on ebay for $50au. Here's a link to the product.

http://www.3dvelocity.com/reviews/ [...] l200ex.htm

My question is can I mount this corsair water block to my 1366 i7 with a mounting bracket or will I need a new water block and if I need a new block can anyone recommend a one for a low budget.
Thanks in advance.

well any block for an i7 will do tbh as that wont be the limiting factor for your cooling setup, dont expect amazing temps either

Not nearly enuff heat dissipation for your CPU. The rad inside that box is tiny. It's made back in the day when a CPU was under 100 watts. Your i7 can go over 200 watts.

Link at the top of this forum, please spend days reading.
