EK-FC7870 - Acetal + Nickel at frozencpu
Presumed you already have pump, top, res, and optionally a 24 Volt controller for strong performance like koolance PMP 450S.
You should possess adequate understanding of PC water cooling materials, heat induction, pressure, and flow rate principles. Also, this is your first time with water cooling—include radiator flushing, thermal grease application, pump priming, leak detection, and temperature tracking.
Check the internal space of your case and ensure compatibility with 240 mm radiator mounting and CPU socket.
Proceed if your CPU and GPU together meet a combined TDP of 200 watts, such as an Intel core i3 6100 (51 watt TDP). Also, include two 1500 RPM 120 mm static pressure fans.

See if your case supports push-pull installation...
EK-FC7870 - Acetal + Nickel at frozencpu
Presumed you already have pump, top, res, and an optional 24 Volt controller for strong D5 systems like koolance PMP 450S.
You should possess adequate understanding of PC water cooling principles, including heat induction, pressure dynamics, and flow rates. This is your first time with water cooling—this includes radiator flushing, thermal grease application, pump priming, leak detection, and temperature tracking.
Check the internal space of your case and ensure compatibility with a 240 mm radiator mount and CPU socket.
Yes, provided your CPU and GPU together meet the 200 watt TDP limit (for example, Intel Core i3 6100 at 51 watt TDP) and you have two 1500 RPM 120 mm static pressure fans.
Tips:
- Verify if your case supports a push-pull setup; for higher TDP CPUs like 95 watt, consider Coolstream 360.
- If using an ITX case, you can add a Coolstream 120 in series with the 240 mm radiator.
- Avoid silver coil or kill coil as they can cause corrosion when mixed with brass, copper, nickel—common PC water cooling materials. Use biocides or other microbe inhibitors during loop bleeding.
