Hi guys,
A few days ago I picked up a used Corsair H60 for $25. Wasn't even looking for new cooling just chanced upon it and thought why not. It was old and some of the fins were bent (easily fixed with thin tweezers), cleaned it out a bit and it looked real good. Pump is great, no noises or weird vibrations. However cooling performance was about on par with my D14, both sitting on Arctic MX4.
Now I've come across an Alphacool 560 that looks proper sick for $40. I'm not really interested in WC but at this price I'm curious if it would be possible to replace the H60 stock rad with this one somehow?
There's only one other example I've seen of this after a lengthy search http://www.overclock.net/t/1560700/the-clc-aio-radiator-upgrade-mod-guide
Is this somehow possible with an el cheapo H60? Will custom fitttings be required? Will the pump be strong enough? I doubt I'll be going for a custom loop at any rate seeing how an EK waterblock costs more than the abovementioned combined.
