Hi Guys

Today we have uploaded finalised changes to our best selling Watercooling Kits

OcUK Tech Labs kits are the best hardware picked by us to meet the following important criteria:

  • Ultimate Price:Performance balance
  • High Quality Components
  • Benchmark Proven results
  • Market Leading components
  • Incredible Aesthetics

Each component we choose is based on reliability.
We check the runrate, popularity and return rate for each part of our kits to ensure your watercooling kit is hassle free and runs perfectly.

designed to fit in small, mid and large tower cases, the kits are ALL upgradeable. Add a VGA card to the V12 kit easily or include more radiators into the baseline V6 and V8 kits to increase your cooling capacity.

Even a beginner can install one of our kits, Check out our guide Here



Each of our kits now ships with the Award Winning XSPC Raystorm as the default CPU waterblock. This block is an Intel only waterblock but you can swap it to the AMD version of the block if you like [I will be adding this feature in the next few days]

We fully endorse the use of Mayhems products in all of our watercooling kits and each kit is offered with the whole range of Mayhems specialist fluids which allows you to customise the aesthetics of your system.


To Celebrate the relaunch of the Tech Labs watercooling kits, we have put each kit at a new price point making them even better value for money!
There are some sweet savings to be made on buying your kit at OcUK!

good timing then!

is there any questions you have? I can answer them right here :)

Only real question is, as I'm looking at custom watercooling, if I just get 1/2" barbs and some 7/16" tubing I can just heat up the ends with water and they will go on fine and have no leaks? Or should I put some cable ties on just to be safe?

Thats what i had on mine, just put the ends in hot water for 10-15 sec and then they slip on fine. I did not have any cabe tides on as i they were fine but u can if want to feel safe.

the way we design it is that it can be used with barbs and no clips, but cable ties work too.

the tubing is very tight on the barbs but it cant hurt if you want the reassurance.

gonna try to do testing vs the v8 and v12 kits and maybe the upcoming kit i plan on doing
 
Does the XSPC D5 Dual Bay Reservoir/Pump Combo create more noise than say a seperate pump and resevoir?
I get the impression from aricles I've read they are.

the kits use the new v4 pump, which has a much quieter operating sound than the previous models.
 
im planning on making 140mm versions of the kits soon.

Awesome, been looking forward to the NZXT closed loops. However, after it taking me 8 months to get a replacement fan controller from them for a Phantom 410 I would prefer to avoid them at any chance I get.

Been thinking about going water cooling, never done it before.

Which kit would be best for my case CM 690 II Adv, specs say "Accommodates 120 x 240 mm radiator inside the top and bottom".

The v8 and v12 will be better. Hard to say on the v6 kits as the krakens are not out yet.

The v8 kit would be ideal for that case. You could potentially buy another 240mm rad if you wanted a big loop and a vga card in the loop at a later date

Cooling CPU and 2 GPUs here. Which kit (if any) would be suitable?
Depends on what cpu and gpus they are.
If you have a low tdp cpu and fIrly cool running gpus then I would say that the v12 would be a solid starting point.

If you have a pair of 680 cards and a 2011 cpu for example, you may want to include another radiator. A 240 would be the minimum.

Depends what you would be cooling.
 
Is the price for the V12 £249.99 inc VAT
When I click on the link it says £250 but that is the 'This week only' Price. And it is normally £269.98.
Just wondering because It will be after xmas when I may purchase.
Cheers.
 
its on This week only at the moment which has messed up the pricing.

it will be a little more expensive next week but not by much,.
