Quick Question

I am looking a kits like the h100 something like it ready to go out of the box but with a 360 mm rad . Anyone know of anything like that ?
 
I doubt anything like that is out there, not really much demand for it I would think. Is there a reason you're not willing to do it custom?
 
Doesn't exist as far as I know, however there are the H110 and NZXT Kraken which are 280mm (2x140) and Silverstone will soon introduce a thick 240mm rad AIO.

There's also the option of Swiftech H220 and adding another rad but I agree with Savage and would say that you probably should go custom.
 
The Swiftech H320 is coming "soon". This might do the job for you. But as SavageCupcake said, why not go custom cooling?
 
I try a custom water cooling before and it was loud well like a plane is and the second time and builder but it in for me and it was loud and leaked damaging some hardware. so bad time with it in the past
 
well if it was loud it wasent done right
/wrong fans for your rad
/ air in the loop
/wrong fiting for your tube

amost all the parts for custom loops are so much better then any of them ready to use coolers
 
I completely understand what you are saying but do not want to take the risk of leaking again cost last time was about 700 pounds
 
I know SpecialTech have it in stock or have had it in stock for a long time. Might be sold out by now.

Might have been the old Swiftech H20-320 though?

thay don't make that cooler anymore it wasent all that good wen it was new very loud temps not as good as thay should be I think tom did a vid on it some time ago
 
Your previous exp with custom water is terrible and i'm sorry to hear. But really it was not done at right at all. Go for a XSPC RX/EX 360 D5 kit if possible and it will do wonders for you. If done right you'll fall in love with it... ask around for help if needed to do it right.
 
To be a honest i really only want a loop for my cpu but in sayings that the case i am thinking about is Corsair Carbide Air 540 if use there do it what would you guys use ?

But it as to be silence are very close

Well as far as I'm aware, CM sell block/pump units from their Eissberg lineup on their own, all those need is the radiator, in case you're going for the smallest setup possible. Otherwise, I'm with NBD, you're better off with one of the custom kits they sell on specialtech (and elsewhere I imagine). Yes, it's a little more work to get all the parts in place, BUT you're guaranteed the performance. I think just the experience and knowledge you'd gain from putting one of these together is worth going with it, but if you get it with the big rads - you're in for awesome temps too. If you only have the huge rad and a CPU in the loop, you can turn the pump down to its lowest setting, so it'll pretty much run silent. Same with the fans. Hell, my setup is looking after a graphics card as well, and it still manages to stay pretty much silent (bar the pump, that's barely audible), so you've got the option to expand if you want to as well.

The 540 sounds like a good case, but it's been a while since I've seen the review on it. If it has the space for the rad - you can certainly have a tidy rig in it.
 
Well I have a Phobya G-Changer v2, which can take good care of a GTX670 and a 3770K (validation in sig) with a set of NF-F12s, mostly running at 800rpm (summer time necessitates higher fan speeds), at which they're pretty much silent. Tested on the hottest day this summer, fans at full blast, the chip and card under prime and FurMark respectively, the highest recorded CPU core temp was 65 C and highest recorded GPU temp was 56 C. It should be noted that the high CPU temp at such low Vcore is due to the stock configuration of the IHS. If I delid, I expect a 5-10 degree drop, more if I run bare die. I've had some Phobya Liquid Metal for this for a while now, but 4.5GHz is fine for now, so I'm not going to f- with it.

To answer your question - yes, a 360x60 for a CPU alone is overkill, HOWEVER it allows you expandability later on (board, GPU, etc), and it allows you to run the fans at very low speed, even under OCCT, and potentially - have the whole setup running passive, depending on how much heat the chip kicks out, and your general case ventilation, as well as GPU heat dump.
