Yeah, the 8320 replaced a X6 way back when and was just barely better. Really, it was the only bulldozer chip I thought was decent. I never really had it under water, so that seems like a fun challenge. The case is very limited on fitting a radiator without some modification. The only rad i'm not using is a triple thick 360. I guess I should ask old donkey1514 about those 20+ rads he's got in his basement. ?
Edit: Here's the watercooling dilema. I can easily intake a 120mm or 140mm above the front/side panel connectors. A 240 fits in that back, but won't work because the io and gpu plugs go through there. I could mod the back steel to external mount a rad though.
Here's the 360 so you get a size idea. Also, the back plate removed.
I was wondering about the 24 pin extension inwin included, but now I know why.
I'll probably be stopping here for today to think before I put that tim on the 212+. A 140 rad will not work on the intake because it will hit the motherboard. 120 might fit there though.
Limited modding if I go this route and that rad outperforms my 2x ekwb coolstream pe's. Looks janky though. I would sand a spray the rad back to looking good.
Well, Hyper 212+ doesn't fit.
Going to use this old thing for now. Long story about this thing. It was clogged at both tubes going into the pump at one time, so I opened it and fixed it, but I'll open it again because it's been sitting in a drawer for 7 years. Pump is working though after getting the air out of it.
I'm going to roll with this for now.
