custom loop or krakon x40/corsair h80?

[UkGouki]

hi all i watched toms vids on the bitfenix shinobi case mod ideas as y'all know im getting a shinobi for my aria prize rig build.

anyhoo looking online ive seen a few ideas for it but ive also seen ways to do a custom 240 rad loop or i can just save a few £££'s and either get a h80i or nzxt krackon x40.

the krackon is cheaper but as i wont be majorly overclocking im just looking for some ideas really what would you guys suggest bear in mind i have to wait until may now before ill have more money to buy parts anyway..

No point in 120mm rads. Better off just getting an air heatsink if you're planning on that.

Go for the H100i, H110 or Kraken X60 - or a proper 240 custom loop as you say.

If you're waiting till may, maybe keep an eye out for second hand parts to save a bit and go for a custom loop, or save even more and just get the H100i.

You should be overclocking though! It's just free performance!

the problem is the midtower shinobi im getting wont fit the h100i in the roof nativly not enough clearance so i would have to mod the roof,

i seen bill from mnpc tech drill custom holes and move the h100 further towards the window of the case it did actually go in but its way off centre and i would hate looking at it like that...

Custom loop needs modding in the shinobi.

TBH if anything Id get the Corsair H90 if overclocks are not the main aim.
