XSPC Raystorm 750 RS360 WaterCooling Kit for 600T?

[seumasbeathan]

So I had saved up some money recently to upgrade my pc but after winning the 600T build I no long will have to upgrade it so I thought that I would spend some cash on getting a custom watercooling loop.

The problem however is that due to never having watercooled before I am not exactly sure how to pick the right gear.

This kit caught my eye though - http://specialtech.co.uk/spshop/cus...Cooling-Kit--750-RS-Series-Kit-pid-16431.html

When you look at the individual prices of what is included it makes this kit a bargain, so really all I am looking for is for some of you guys to basically jsut tell me if it would be a good choice for the 600T

Thanks

depends if you comfortable with modding the roof of the case to accomodate the 360 rad.

 

[seumasbeathan]

I watched Toms video of the modding and yeah I am completely comfortable doing that

 

[OcSurfer]

then thats up to you, personally if you were going to do that id save a little more and get a gpu block and then look at getting something like the phobya 200mm rad or mod a 240 in the front and cool the lot

 

[seumasbeathan]

Well I can always add in extra rads down the line for the gpu, but as a starter kit for the cpu do you think that this kit would be a good choice?

 

[OcSurfer]

if your planning to expand then yes,
However,
if you are going to cool the lot i would much rather use a D5 but it will work with the 750.

if it was me bud, id much rather go with something like this, http://www.aquatuning.co.uk/product_...-XT---kit.html but thats only cause im more partial to Alphacool rads and blocks.

You're probably better off with the D5 kit if you can afford it.

Should be quieter, and allow for more upgrades down the line.

The D5 EX 360 kit may be worth a look at:

D5 ... Quieter ... OK

 

[airdeano]

use the D5 kit and the EX360 or alpha st30 360. i prefer the looser fpi in the alphas
for some low fan speed running. it can be achived with the EX, but temperatures will
be sacrificed for that. so for a simple 360 CPU loop with GPU in the future, you got
a plan, now...

I think its a waste of money and the H100i is fine.

Also Im not sure if anyone makes blocks for the DCUII's

 

[seumasbeathan]

I think its a waste of money and the H100i is fine.

Thats the thing that is holding me back tbh, In a way I want to throw a load of money at it and get an epic looking/performing custom loop but yet at the same time I know that as a young guy going to uni next year there is definetely better things to spend the money on, so I think I may take your advice and not go for it atm, although watercooling is still something I want to do at some point

TBH leave it as it is, then youve got less chance of me telling you youve ruined it
