I just recently ordered the parts for a new computer I am building. I am pretty familiar with parts and what not however liquid cooling is something I know nothing about. Can anyone let me know if I need a specific coolant to use with the NZXT Kraken Z73 73.11 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler?

    The coolant is self contained on those, you don't have to add anything to it.

    You can't open an AIO liquid cooler.

    They work great, just keep in mind that after about 8 or 10 years enough coolant will permeate out that it won't work well anymore.

    The Corsair 4000D comes with two fans and has 6 places total. So, with the 3 on the AIO and the 2 with the case, you only need 1 to fill the case completely. Why are you selecting a 5 pack of fans?
