Compatibility and related parts
Before buying, confirm your CPU socket is in the supported list and that your case has a 280 mm radiator mount. The radiator measures 310 x 140 x 27 mm before fans, so check the clearance in the spec sheets of our PC cases. You will need a free SATA power connector for the pump and a 5V RGB header for the lighting. Keep fresh thermal paste and pads on hand for remounting, or let our PC builder check compatibility for you. Free assembly and testing are included when you buy it as part of a PC build.
