thats the water cooling

Water cooling kits for AMDs are pretty pointless, since most want to get a better overclock, and premade cooling kits won't accomplish it efficiently. Water cooling kits for Pentiums are a bit better, since they tend to overheat and throttle alot, so you can put that under control with a cheap kit.

are you overclocking? do you haver any particular reason for buying it because if not i'd just keep my money and get something more useful

almost all, if not all, pre-built water cooling kits suck ass, especially for $100 you'll probably get something that cools worse than higher end HSF

just get yourself a zalman 7700cu and a tube of Artic silver 5

how can a fan be mounted on that?

it dosnt use a fan, it radiates the heat out side so that the other fans can cool it
