Watercooling spec

[elpedro]

Hello im in need a watercooling spec for a friend he has £200 to spend and needs to use XSPC EX240 120mm Radiator - Black only one that will fit in the case, CPU loop only (Asus Rampage IV Extreme / 3930k)

How would a £200 loop compare to Phanteks PH-TC14PE CPU Cooler

Thanks

Temps wont be hugely different to the phantek, it's mainly the expandability that will be affected as you can probably get away with adding a GPU to the loop

The OcUK V8 kit will be perfect

Custom water will (nearly) always be better than air cooling. You say he can only fit a 240 rad in his case, what case does he have? It may be possible to fit a 120 on the back as well?

The pump and res are better.

Can he not fit a 200 mm rad at the front?

requires abit of modding afaik (looking at a few build logs) what 120rad should he get for the back? any of them a clear winner? was looking at

EK CoolStream Radiator XT 120 (120.1)

adding an extra 120rad would need to get another 2 fittings from the spec i had above?

 

[Cleeecooo]

only 2 fittings and a fan are needed for another rad.

I would personally go for the EX rad as it is thin and maybe go for a thicker top rad such as an RX/phobya g changer/SR1 or EK XTX
