    First time watercooling spec for CPU

    I am only looking for a cpu only cooling setup for now. I have a budget upto about 150. Any recommendations? Oh I'm after a 240 rad to fit a corsair 300r so will prob need a slight mod. Bit fussed if it's a kit or separate components

    I don't think £150 will get you a custom WC setup unless you go the second hand route. So an AIO would be your only real choice, Coolermaster has just come out with a 240 AIO which at the moment comes in at under £100... review here: http://www.overclockersclub.com/revi...ton_240m/5.htm

    its a complete kit wich includes everything for cooling
    (i dont know or its suiteble for your cpu)


    the site highflow is one of the leading shops in europe for waterkooling. on modding fora its highly recommanded.

    Re: First time watercooling spec for CPU

    believe me AIO is a good option if you dont have the budget for a custom WC loop
    i have a thermaltake water 2.0 extreme
    i have no problem with it ever using it for more than a year now
