I was planning on buying a H20-120 watercooling setup to use on my HTPC. Is this a pretty good setup? Was looking to only cool the cpu. Thanks.
 
What cpu and are you overclocking it? If dual core or above and you are wanting to keep it as quiet as possible, then you are going to want atleast a 220 radiator. That way you can have low rpm fans and still have optimal cooling. With a 120 you are going to need a mid to high rpm fan to have adequate cooling. If it is a single core then a 120 radiator will be fine. On choosing radiators, make sure you don't pick one with too dense of fins. It eliminates you from using low rpm fans. I just learned that leason myself this week. I had purchased a slimline dense radiator that the company says was optimized for low rpm fans. All I have to say is, I would hate to see what their products are like that are not optimized for low rpm fans. To make this radiator work I had to go with 38mm thick fans.
 
was gonna be cooling an E4500. No overclocking. just looking for something quit and cool.
