A Good watercooling system?

[siravarice]

What is the best watercooling system for around £150-£200?

Needs to fit inside either a TJ07 or Obsidian 800D

Planning a proper build for next year

What will you be cooling. CPU,GPU,MB or Mem.

 

[siravarice]

Just the CPU, although may think about GPU as well later on.

well the most obv parts are the liang d5 with ek top or similar, dtek fuzion v2 or Heatkiller rev3, and a thermochill radiator. if youre only cooling a cpu, then a 240 rad will do, although if you are planning to add more parts to the loop, might as well go for a 360mm one....

+1. Depends on the case you are using too.

He says either the tj07 or obsidian 800d which are huge cases... fitting any sort of loop in shouldnt be a problem methinks....

You can swing a cat in them cases.

You really want a DDC pump over a D5 tbh, if you are going to add a GPU in you WILL deffo need a 360mm rad. And my preferance for water blocks is still the XSPC Delta V3 tbh, performs very well and is cheaper than all the others.

£150 for new parts aint gunna happen, even £200 is tight with hose, coolant ect ect.

Rad - £65

Pump - £50/£65

Block - £35

prices soon mount up, but one thing with water either do it properly or wait because its not worth cutting corners on.

As mentioned by Tom, if you're going to do it, you really should do it properly otherwise you wont see much benefit over high end air cooling apart from it'll cost more and be a lot more effort but pretty much the same results.

If you were happy to pick up parts second hand, you could probably shave some money off that sum though.

Thanks for the info guys, will look into prices and what not.

Someone mentioned top end air cooling, if I don't want to mess around with water cooling, what cooling would be good for an overclocked i7 920? to say 3.5GHz?
