is compatible with a AM3+ CPU

 

My old Corsair H50 had the brackets and everything for the AM2 and AM3 CPUs. I'm sure the newer one would have AM3+ .

 

im curious too. but i think the issues is moutning radiator?

 

Yes it is compatible.

It's huge though, make sure you have a case that can support it.

I have the Corsair H50 on my Phenom X6 and it keeps it cooler than Sean Connery in a room full of naked women.

 

thanks fearless ... i was think ing about if the size would fit...

 

Mounting the radiator shouldn't be too bad. It's only a 240. Height wise, it'll take up about 6 drive bays. If you can't fit it in the front, you have the option of mounting it on the roof or floor of the case. You're gonna have to drill a few holes and space em a bit from the case but it's something even a novice can do.

Here's a pic for size reference. The H100 radiator will be as tall as 2 of these fans combined.

 

It's a Thermaltake Armor full tower. Each one of the white things on the right side represents 1 drive bay.

 

I'm not sure why everyone is going for closed-loop liquid coolers. This http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835608018 does just a good a job while being cheaper and quieter.

 

That thing is a beast.

Personally I went with a closed loop liquid cooler just because it was the most cost effective way to keep my CPU at low temperature... Also it looks a bit more low profile than a massive tower of fins and fans.

 

Agreed. Without a sizable case, this thing looks ridiculously big.
