Well,
In an attempt to max out my system, I have pulled the trigger on a Arctic Liquid Freezer II 420. This will be my first foray into the liquid cooling world. I will be attempting to install this into/outside of my Coolermaster HAF XB Evo as a replacement for my Noctua NH-D15S with 2x 3000 rpm Noctua fans.
I will be installing the radiator first externally as a test to see how it compares stock to the NH-D15. Then I will be installing 3x Noctua 3000 RPM fans before finding a home inside/outside of my case.
If anyone has any videos or pictures of such an attempt being made (other than the easily searchable pictures/videos on youtube) any input would be helpful. I will now see first hand how the Noctua Air cooler stacks against a full 420mm radiator and then decide if it is even worth installing.
For the record, Amazon had one for $135 open box, so worse case scenario, I hold onto it only for benching.
