Edit: I have yet to see my cpu go above 34 degrees with my H100 in place. I may not be taxing it like others here since I'm really only playing WoW/Diablo III/SWTOR on it but it's performing beautifully thus far. I installed a floor 140mm intake fan so that I have three total intake, 3 exhaust. I replaced the stock rear exhaust fan and the two fans that came with the H100 with these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835129056

Sure, that's what I meant with "personal preferences". Comes without saying once you start OC-ing.
But, in case you're not, and just doing normal (whatever that may be) routines, there isn't that much significant differences most of time to justify opting for these prefab watercooling products (-owning a modern Intel CPU that is) .
A bit gain on the silence-front might be one perhaps

I guess I should have said 240 rads, the 360 can fit but you'll need to mod. It would be easier to add a 120 to the back. If you are just wanting to cool the CPU, a 240 is more than enough. Those AIO cooler's do not have even close to the same cooling power as a real watercooling loop. I have a RS240 cooling my 3570K @ 4.4 GHz with GT-15's in push running at 1400 RPM's. If you go with an EX I'm sure you'll be able to run them at a lower RPM's. I would get a Raystorm EX kit, it's a much better kit. The CPU block is much nicer, much better rad and it comes with a way better pump.

If that is too much $$$ get the Raystorm RS kit.

Just out of curiosity, what kind of overclock are you trying to obtain? Also with your H100, what is it not doing? Getting too hot? I notice your already running 5.0 Ghz, thats with your H100 right. Just trying to get an idea of where you want to go with your system.

i think im going to go with a full custom loop. i read from a few other places that the raystorm pump is decent at best. i dont wanna invest buying a kit that im gonna have to change out parts out for. but yea i was looking in my case and it looks like i can add a 360 rad with some light custom work. i searched online and saw that one other person did put a 360 rad in sniper case but never went into to details how? if i cut a whole above the drive bay what can i use the hold the 360 rad in place?

yea i would like to stay at 5ghz but on prime i reach 85c and that worries me i know that i will never reach that kind of temp on a daily but still worries me i just wanna stay at 5ghz at 70c max. i had to find out the hard way that the h100 is over hype and is only really good if stay at stock speeds. because with my 212+ i could get 4.7ghz at 75c but with h100 5ghz at 85c with 2 kaze fans and room temps at 25c ***? thank god newegg does refunds ill pay the restocking just to get that junk away from me.

Those AIO cooler's do not have even close to the same cooling power as a real watercooling loop. I have a RS240 cooling my 3570K @ 4.4 GHz with GT-15's in push running at 1400 RPM's. If you go with an EX I'm sure you'll be able to run them at a lower RPM's. I would get a Raystorm EX kit, it's a much better kit. The CPU block is much nicer, much better rad and it comes with a way better pump.

If that is too much $$$ get the Raystorm RS kit.

i think im going to go with a full custom loop. i read from a few other places that the raystorm pump is decent at best. i dont wanna invest buying a kit that im gonna have to change out parts out for. but yea i was looking in my case and it looks like i can add a 360 rad with some light custom work. i searched online and saw that one other person did put a 360 rad in sniper case but never went into to details how? if i cut a whole above the drive bay what can i use the hold the 360 rad in place?

That is why I said go with the EX kit if you have the money, it comes with a D5 vario, that is about as good as your are going to get. As for the 360, I'm going off memory here and haven't had this case for awhile, but if you go with the if you go slim rads RS/EX 360 you should just have to cut a hole about the drive bays like you said. Make sure to check that you have room to clear all the front panel stuff. Looking at my old pics, it looks like you could move it to the back a lot too if needed, you have to make new mounting holes. The RX fatty rads you'll have to cut the top cover to make it fit.
