Good morning, Mike! I hope you have a great day!
Another good morning to everyone! The temp this morning is 63F. It's a strange variance of morning temps as some are 40-something and others are 60-something. I looks like it will finally be getting cooler, which means I can at least sit on our front porch with headphones to block out the neighborhood noise, especially those people who honk when they get to someone's house instead of getting out of the car and knocking on the door! How infuriating!!

What cooler did you get? Can you take the back of the case off to see if you have access to the motherboard? The liquid cooler I was considering was the Hydro Series™ H60 (2018) 120mm Liquid CPU CoolerSo, I'm contemplating whether to install this this weekend the new liquid CPU cooler I purchased, upgrade my primary drive to a 1TB from a 512GB m.2 SSD, and install the USB-C expansion port I purchased. I'm worried that the liquid cooler will take more time than I want it to. I have to switch out the mounting plate and can't remember if my computer chassis has a cutaway to access the bottom of the motherboard where the CPU mounting plate is screwed in. I'm thinking I can live without the upgrades until the end of the semester. On the other hand, I make it a point not to work on Sundays, so I'll have some time. On the other hand, in my experiences, if it can go wrong, it will. I don't want to be working on my system Monday morning when I should be working on grading student work.
I guess I can see what the liquid cooler will entail once I crack open the case. The SSD switch out and USB-C expansion port should be quick enough. If I don't have the cut away on the case, I'd have to take out the motherboard. UGH! If I do that, I might as well upgrade my case to a better model than the cheap-o case I use. I can always reassemble the case without the new cooler until Winter break hits. By then, the new case I select will be here. Of course, I'll want to get that soon since I read that this Christmas is going to be expensive with slow shipping.
Decisions, decisions...
I bought this Aquafusion Cooler: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07P7RXLH1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (the single-fan cooler). It gets pretty good reviews.
YW.. the Corsair is the best option for ease of instillation and worth the bit extra. And thanks for the link for the newer model.. I might look into getting that next year..
