Question 1

Accepted Answer

From the product page on the Corsair site

Compatibility

Intel™ LGA 1150, 1155, 1156, 1366, and 2011
AMD™ sockets FM1, FM2, AM2, and AM3

Question 2

how do you get water into the cooler?

Accepted Answer

It already has liquid in the cooler. You do not need to add water. Simply attach to your nuts and enjoy sweat free balls all summer long.

Question 3

Do I need to add the liquid or is the liquid contained within the product upon purchasing?

Accepted Answer

Liquid is in it already. That is one of the differences between closed loop (pre-filled) and open loop (liquid not included but if it is then it's in a bottle).

Question 4

Is it normal to hear a swishing sound right out of the box?  I suspect there is some air in the system but there is no signs of leaks in the packaging...

Accepted Answer

It has been several months since my purchase but I do not recall any pronounced swishing sounds before my install. After install it makes no water sounds at all on my system. If it is a lot of swishing I might would attempt to get it replaced as a lot of air in the system isn't ideal. If it requires a good bit of shaking and intent listening to notice then I wouldn't be concerned about it. My has performed like a champ. Hope this helps

Question 5

Will this mount to a AM3+ socket type CPU?

Accepted Answer

Yes it most definetely will. I currently have it mounted to my Asus Crosshair V Motherboard running and AMD FX-8150 Processor which is an AM3+ Socket type. I am a big gamer so i run my machine a ton and this thing keeps my CPU nice and cool. My max is usally about 120 degrees farenheit when playing for several hours. ANyways i hope this helps in your decision. This is probably the one of the best All in One closed loop water coolers that is currently on the market. I had one other before this and it couldnt keep my cpu cool AT ALL and it failed VERY fast. That one was a different brand though.

Question 6

Hey will this fit in this case posted below? Thanks a lot. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811133228

Accepted Answer

Looks like it, it even shows a dual rad like this in one of the pics. Just to be safe, buy this later and see how a rad could interfere with your ram. Also your motherboard may have a heatsink that might get in the way. In a full tower case do not expect it to be able to mount on the front or bottom as the tube might not be long enough, however it is entirely possible.

Question 7

Will this work great with intel i7-4790 cpu?

Accepted Answer

absolutely and it is so easy to install, my temperatures with my i7 4930K are extremely low with the pre applied thermal paste i strongly suggest this H105 for you, good luck with your build

Question 8

Would this fit in my  NZXT Phantom 530 White ATX Full Tower along the top?

Accepted Answer

Should fit.....I have it in a phantom 410. I mounted mine under the top lid just had to do a slight trim job on the plastic on the case but its nothing really. Setup in a push only and it keeps my fx 8320 at 8c idle and 34c loaded prime95 while oced at 4.5 ghz with room temp at 70-80 f. the raid is a lil on the tall side from the h110 and h100i. so no push pull unless you want to trim the top plate out to allow the fans to fit.

Question 9

Will this fit (top mounted) into the new Corsair 450D? iv'e heard it might not from one trusted youtube reviewer, but others have been less specific. Ive got a Gigabyte 7-87 UDH3 mother board inmy 450D right now. Will this fit?

Accepted Answer

I have a In-win GrOne case and by moving a stock fan to the front  of the case top, the cosair fits right in the back inside above the motherboard and the tube hang easily with out having much interference.  The case also has a fan controller built into the front for this type of cooler.

Nothing had to be modified at all for this to fit in the case. and nothing is outside either.  With a bit more moving around you could easily mount this on the bottom of the case as well.
