Do you mean one of the all-in-one water cooling units offered by Corsair? If so, I have no doubt that you can fit any of them, even if it has the double length radiator. On the top of the case there is room to place two 120mm fans (the now standard size for water cooling radiators) and there is definitely enough room between the top of the case and the motherboard. But don't take my word for it, take a look at the manufacturer's site: http://www.apevia.com/ProductsInfo.asp?KEY=X-Dreamer4-PK Hope this helps.

Yes. I personally have that exact cpu cooler in my rig. Not much room between the top and the side panel (about a mm or 2). But it fits.

Looks that way. Here's a build with corsair pro series mem and that cooler - http://pcpartpicker.com/b/NQjXsYAlso a close up screen shot: http://cdn.pcpartpicker.com/static/forever/images/userbuild/77728.b1a24f5062662cd6304f73aea92df294.cd0b1fb3efe5864472ef205f8d51fd0b.jpg

I uses Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - CPU Cooler with 120mm PWM Fan (RR-212E-20PK-R2)it is really big, I have a little problem put the ram in, but I made it finally

Its an alright choice. I have a custom water cooling set up in mine. Hold a 360 rad just fine though you lose the top 5.5 slot.

Yes, you do, unless your case has a hole or an aperture right behind the mother board's rear socket plate. You have to remove the rear socket plate to put a new one -included- in which the Thermaltake Cooler is going to be anchored

There's no need. Comes with the two 120mm fans installed with lights and the 200mm fan on the side. My PC runs cool as hell. There's no need for anything more than that. Grab the air cooled older master CPU cooler and you'll run optimal. This is the most amazing case. Build quality is superb. It looks so good.

yes-but I would contact corsair to see for sure because you might not be able to use a top mount fan.

I was worried I'd be unable to but after buying a CoolerMaster Hyper 212 EVO (that thing is the size of your head) and installing it, things worked like a charm! Just removed the backplate which was already there and screwed everything in. Dunno about cTDP though. :( Best of luck in your PC ventures!

The minimal i would run with and currently do run with is the corsair h100i. Anything less will overheat quickly as this chip is a heat beast.

the stock heat sink that comes with this cpu is JUNK throw it away and buy something like a cooler master hyper 212 EVO this heat sink will keep your cpu much cooler

Yes, but you should not use a CPU fan connection. Use one of the other motherboard fan connections. There are usually three of these available to power case fans. Piggyback if you run out.

Stock :).. if not then u can always place the fan alittle higher or behind it and let it pull instead of push... or get the corsair liquid cooling etc..

Yes, but in my opinion just save your money and get a Corsair case4. this case right here ended up in the trash. Cheap metal and litterally NO ROOM for cable management. I got the Corsair 600 and never looked back.

Yeah that should work, I have 2 of them in a Xeon system. if your overclocking it I would suggest looking at one of the corsair closed loop liquid cooling system. like the H60, H80, or H100. I've got an i7 extreme 2011 running at 4.5ghz with the H80.

Go to Corsair's site. I'm betting that it would be fine, but I didn't design either of them.

No you don't need an aftermarket cooler, if you don't over clock your computer. The fan that comes with your CPU is engineered for that type of CPU, and they tend to be quieter than the aftermarket ones. When I bought my CPU from Amazon, there was no fan/heat sink with it, so I had to get an aftermarket one. Check to see if it comes with one.
