Dell Precision 3620 (Mini Tower) and Liquid Cooling System
Hello,
Is Dell Precision 3620 (Mini Tower) chassis powered with 7700K compatible with CORSAIR Hydro Series H110 Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler ?
Is there enough space inside the case to install this cooling system
Thanks
Mike S.

Hi Mike,
There are three different heatsinks for the T3620, one rated 65W, one 80W and one the other 95W. Systems that ship with the 7700k CPU are fitted with the 95W heatsink, so if you have that already it should be fine.
The Dell part number for it is VWMTJ

What about these options:
- CORSAIR Hydro Series™ H80i v2 High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler (http://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/hydro-series-h80i-v2-high-performance-liquid-cpu-cooler/apd/a9855581/pc-accessories)
- CORSAIR Hydro Series H55 Quiet CPU Cooler - liquid cooling system (http://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/corsair-hydro-series-h55-quiet-cpu-cooler-liquid-cooling-system/apd/a9855582/pc-accessories)
or
- Aurora Liquid Cooling Kit (http://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/aurora-liquid-cooling-kit/apd/412-aajj/pc-accessories)
or maybe some powerful air cooler. I'm actually worried for thermal throttling because this processor's TDP is 91W in case it does under heavy load I'd like to know if there's any way to upgrade the cooling.

did you find a suitable solution for this? I think Dell gets into Intel marketing the TDP as peak watts rather than base watts and so under specs their thermal solutions. The 7700k can peak under load at 215W (not over clocked). So to maximize boost clock frequencies under load you need at least 200W cooler.

200W cooler: https://www.newegg.com/p/13C-001F-00026 or https://www.amazon.com/Noctua-NH-D15-heatpipe-NF-A15-140mm/dp/B00L7UZMAK
The trick is finding the right cooler to fit your OEM mounting brackets and case. Dell will just keep referring you back to their 95W cooler.

@psycl0ptic the reason we keep referring back to the 95W cooler is due to space requirements and chassis restrictions.
The positioning of the proc and heatsink on the mobo in relation to the space for add in cards etc limits the size of the cooler we can offer.
Looking at the cooler you linked to on Amazon, i don't see it physically fitting in the chassis.

Those were just examples, not researched to fit. You need to do your own work a little here. I'm just setting you on the right direction...basically you need to focus on peak TDP rather than base if you want to maximize performance.
And apparently dell thinks getting "sucked" into something is profane. I guess I can't say the air and dust was sucked into the vacuum cleaner.
