GENTLY slide it forward or aft!  If you pull up or down...snap!...as I did.  If you break them and need new ones they can be purchased at http://cmstore.coolermaster-usa.com/  You will have to gently pull it our like 1/32" to clear a little protrusion before it slides left for right.

As to if a H70 is long enough, I am not familiar with the Sniper case.  Just try to remove the rad from its mound and pull it around to see where it will go. One reason I went with the Kuhler is I do not feel it puts anywhere near the amount of stress on the MB that the H50 or H70 does.


any chance of doing this on a cosmos s case without buying anything extra and not punching it in or trying to get it in with force i want it to go in smoothly and easily (thats what she said lol) as i want the radiator to take the empty place in the front as nothing is there anyway the dust filters are a plus i do hope they won't kill cooling to a noticable level

This can be done in any standard drive bay as long as you have space but you must have some sort of a bracket.  As for punching it in, I have no idea what you mean.  I did not have to manipulate, bend or punch anything.  The "L" shaped brackets I used worked perfectly but it just took some time and patinece while working in such a tight space and trying to get everything aligned.


so that means i need extra stuff it won't work without anything extra

You may be able to pick up some brackets at Home Depot or Lowes but they may have to be altered.  The brackets I used are designed specificly for mounting a rad in a 5.25 drive bay. BTW, the brackets are a kit that come with the screws, washers and self-locking nuts.

This should do the job and may be easier to mount since you only need 2 total.  Let me know what you think.

BTW Have you guys determined which is better at cooling performance? H2O 620 or H70?

Some say that it's the H70 because it's thickness.  I have not used a H70 so cannot say exactly but I will say the Kuhler H20 620 is AWESOME. The highest temps I have seen with the most difficult benches/testing is 68c.  FYI, the most stressful program I have found to bring up temps is Intel Burn Test @ 20 loops at very high.

My i7-2600k @ 4.4Ghz idles between 15-19c dependent on ambient temps, but I love the H70, that's with stock fans. Will prolly get better once I put the scythe gentle typhoon's (1850RPM). and be much quieter!

I know the H70 TIM is very good quality, but I ordered some ICD today just in case... I used ICD on my H50 on a q6600 and got good results in a Dell xps630i case. Could be alot better with the HAF X and all the fans,etc.

From what I see, the H70 and 620 don't really offer much over my Megahalems Rev. B (within the tests I've found that use an i7 920 or 930 clocked @ ~ 4 GHz). Basically each test I've reviewed shows these H2O coolers operating within 2 to 3 *C of what I currently see on air (about 72* C under 100% load).
 
That being said (in terms of pure performance vs cost), I really don't see a valid reason for someone to opt for the more complicated (and expensive) "all in 1" water cooling kits such as the H50/H70 & 620.
 
Of course, I understand why someone may want "water cooling" for the "geek cred", however I would imagine that anyone who is looking for that result would be more interested in a custom water loop kit. 
 
Really, the only thing I can see as an advantage with this versus a high end air cooler is space and noise... however the right fan combo on the air cooler (such as in my setup) can match or beat the cooling of the H20 kits while keeping about the same noise level, or lower. 
 
Thoughts?

I'm thinking about going to H70 because of my good experience with H50

So I installed and am running LinX 0.6.4 and there is no change in CPU temps nor CPU usage.  I have tried using 3GB, 4GB and "all" just to see what is going on here.  Each time I let the program run for at lease 5 to 10 minutes and there is absolutely no change in anything.  Any advise.  What am I doing wrong? BTW, I also first used the H50 and have found the Kuhler to be superior.
 
UPDATE! Been going for 18:07 and there is still no CPU usage or change in temp.  It is set to run 6523MB of memory for 20 run times.

Given that the Kuhler is supposed to be on par with the H70, this is not surprising.

I do understand what you are saying.  I have used the Thermalright TRUE in the past and did not feel comfortable with the sheer weight on my MB.  I had it installed inside a Silverstone TJ09 windowed case and I was unable to slide out the MB tray without either altering the case or removing the cooler which I thought was a PIA due to the size.   Also I no longer liked the personal appearance of the large and bulky coolers.  It does all come down to personal opinion and I have found the Kuhler is right for me.   To me, I just think the Kuhler has a cleaner appearance and operates extremely well for what I want.

That, I can see. I suppose if the cost difference is not a factor for you, and you want to go with something "better looking", then the H70/620 would be a suitable replacement for top-tier air coolers, given that performance are about equal.
 
BTW, have you looked at the Prolimatech Megahalems (and related Prolimatech units)? The mounting hardware is WAY different than the TRUE-120 (any revision), and distributes the pressure/weight evenly. Its a huge step up from the method that the TRUE uses.

LOLz... http://forums.evga.com/tm.aspx?m=939296

That is always a possibility with any type of water cooling setup.  Supposedly the life span of a H50, H70 or Kuhler is supposed to be like 17 years but I would never believe it.  Pumps die, water leaks and hoses crack.  We all take our risks.  Cars crash but if I was consumed with being in an accident i would never get on the road.

sorry to say this i got my kuhler today and i must say this has to be the most horrible design i have ever seen at first i couldn't get those metal things thru the bracket so i thought oh the bracket is turned upside down and i peeled off the attaching things and turned it and then WHY WON'T it fit so repeated the cycle like 5 times untill i found out you have to PRESS the metal things down in the bracket by FORCE this was NOT mentiond in the manual now we come to assembling the front part i put on the plastic holders and screw it all together not realizing i screwed too hard which was NOT HARD AT ALL and the screws wen't thru 1 of those cheap plastic horrible things and nearly thru the second as in 2 of my plastic cheap holders are now broken as they were so WEAK and bealive me i screwed normally as in not by force AT ALL and now there broken this has to be the worse design i have ever seen and i am very dissapointed im gonna hope the store can send me 2 new ones as i don't want one broken holding together the whole thing and the choice of blue cheap plastic (that btw don't fit nicely with my black motherboard) thats just cheap how hard would it be for them to have metal holders this is just beyond cheap

ZZ,
Sorry for your problems.  The mounting design for the Kuhler is identical for the H50 and H70.  Mounting the pump to the motherboard, to my was the simplest of installs. The only difficult part for me was mounting the fans to the fad inside the front drive bay.  A normal install where all the parts are easily reached is very simple.  Take a look at this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3r4ITJm3fvE&feature=player_embedded  Also, it is ok that the screws went through the little plastic piece.  The screw will ultimately go through it and screw into the back plate.  The tight spot in the little plastic piece is only meant to assist you during installation.  Watch the video and take your time. If anything is not broken you will be fine.

ZZ, I want to help you as much as possible here.  When you put the retaining ring down on to the top of your MB simply turn the screws enough to get the threads started into each hole of the back plate. Once each screw is in just a little you want to be able to lift the retaining ring with one hand and place the pump just above the CPU/thermal and rotate it until all the little tabs on the pump align with the tabs on the retaining ring.  Then just press it down enough to hold it in place and screw it down in a x pattern.  DONE!

Right. But at the same time, I don't buy the car with no airbags and a frayed seatbelt.
 
... or for a better analogy... "I don't opt for the car that has a 1 star crash rating over the one which has a 5 star rating."

What part of the plastic is broken? Before you throw it out the window take another look at it. I cannot conceive of any part being broken.

They are identical for both except with the exception of color. the kuhler uses different colors for different processor types.  I guess my next question would be how did you possibly crack the plastic piece?  Are you in the States?  I think I have my extra hardware.  If I can find it I may be able to send you one.

here it is notice the line
 
http://img714.imageshack.us/f/anteckuhlerh2o620mounti.jpg/
 
it's like someone used a scissor to cut in that line then half the inside part has been cracked and leans downward (the screw made it that way) i don't think this would effect functionality as the cut is on only that side isn't connected to the whole thing but this is just stupid why plastic and not metal i didn't even feel when i was screwing too hard (yea i know)
 
this sort of dissapointed me as it shouldn't be like this 
and yes i cracked the plastic pice as the screw wen't thru it as in i screwed too hard but it wasn't hard i didn't even feel it i am used to it to take a stop when properly screwed in but i kept screwing and screwing not feeling a thing and not using any force untill i see the plastic cracked
 
i guess it's all my foult for not being gentle enough thou in my opinion cheap plastic extremely cheap way
