Question 1

Will this work for socket 1150?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I run this water cooler on my ASUS Maximus VI Formula board.  I've had no issues so far but with my current CM Storm Stryker tower and the ROG armor on my board mentioned before I'm unable to fit the second radiator fan correctly with my current configuration.

So in short, Yes it will work on a Socket 1150 motherboard and it does come with the mounting equipment (bracket, screws, etc) as well.

Question 2

Can this product be used to cool a GPU instead of a CPU?

Accepted Answer

Categorically no.  The waterblock and mounting brackets are specifically designed for a CPU.  The whole device can be configured into an open loop system, in which the radiator could be used to cool a GPU, but you would have to get a waterblock specific to your GPU.  Note that while this system is designed to be used in an open loop, doing so voids its warranty.

Question 3

is this system expandable?

Accepted Answer

Yes, they claim that the system is expandable but I have not looked into how to do it. I am just cooling my CPU with it. From what I understand, it really isn't designed to fully expand like a true open loop system.

Good Luck

Question 4

Hello,

I bought this a few months ago, at first my processor ran real cool, now while not ungodly hot by no means, it doesn't run as cool. My question is how often should you refill this, and what kind of liquid do you refill this with? I've never had a liquid cooler before.

Thanks,

Dustin

I bought this system June 8, 2013. That is more than a year ago. I have not had a change in my temps.  I have not changed the solution. You can search for solutions for liquid systems online. Don't know if Newegg sells the solution. I have read that a good one is Coollaboratory Liquid Coolant Pro UV. There is a knob on the block (which sits on the CPU) where you can fill the system. However you should troubleshoot for other causes of your increased temperatures if the solution hasn't leaked out.

Question 5

One of the fans that came with this cooler doesn't seem to work. Can I order a replacement fan? Which one should I get?

Accepted Answer

Any 120mm fan will work with the unit, really.  Just shop around and find one that meets your speed/CFM/noise level requirements.  I personally like the 4-pin fans because my MoBo supports them.  In fact, I replaced the OEM Cooler Master fans with 2 Corsair Air Series SP120 PWM fans.

Question 6

I may sound ignorant asking this question but thats because I am; at least when it comes to water coolers cause I know really nothing about them. Is that little cap that says "fill" the only way to fill up the reservoir?

Accepted Answer

I don't know what happened to my last email answer but this reply box disappeared before I finished. Like I was trying to reply the short answer is yes....Just make sure the block is higher than the radiator or you will empty the cooling fluid... I have owned 3 units over the past 5 years one cost me $228.00. Everyone has leaked after a while and if it was not for the much improved motherboard and power supply designs we have today I would have most likely lost a ton of money replacing mother boards or processors. I have been building computer systems for 20 years.  I will never use liquid coolers again unless some "breakthrough design" is developed. If you have to add fluid most likely you have leaked some out. I wish you luck.

Question 7

Are the fans best used as an air intake, or exhaust? I have a half 932 advanced full tower. Currently the side fan, and front fans are intake and the back and top (where this is mounted) fans are exhaust.

Also if I do switch to intake, should i make my side fan exhaust?

Accepted Answer

Configure you fans to exhaust out of the case, in fact I have found that for optimum performance all case fans (to include CPU cooler) should exhaust out. I rarely see temps above 125 under full load or 95 at idle.
