Corsair SPEC ALPHA AIO options?

[HK-Axal]

Hey, I don't really know a lot about liquid coolers so I could use your help.

I've been looking to buy an AIO cooler for my i7 4770k as I'd like to try overclocking it and I was pretty set on buying an NZXT Kraken x61 for £77 but I found it doesn't fit in the SPEC ALPHA as the max supported is 240mm on the front with the HDD tray removed(?), I'm going to need the HDD tray since I have some hard drives so I can't really do that.

Are there any good AIO coolers for a similar price that will allow me to get good temps/overclock going in this case?

Then you will need to run a 120 rad AIO

I recommend the Arctic, best price to performance ratio out there ATM for a fat single rad cooler with two fans.

Thank you, I'll have a look around for that.

Just an extra question if you don't mind answering, What would be the best fan setup for a radiator in that position? (pulling the air in or out etc)

I don't know. I would try putting the 240 in the front on intake, GPU in the back on intake (so both going in the same direction) and then fit two in the roof bringing in fresh air for the GPU.

But no, I don't know for sure. Maybe you could experiment a little?
