Hi Guys!
I need advise regarding this OcUK Tech Labs - Value 240 Kit water cooling kit is worth to buy it and to use on loop for cpu and gpu(procesor i5 and saphire radeon r9 280x ) or i must find a better one in this case more expensive? I mean kit looks cool but pump have enogh power for both gpu waterblock and cpu?
Thanks in advance

General rule of thumb would be 120mm of radiator per block and 1 extra 120mm.
So 2 blocks ie CPU & GPU would warrant 360mm of radiator.

You would be pushing it IMO

you would be better getting summit like this

Yea its double the price,but every single component is better,plus it has a 360 rad.To integrate a GPU into this loop all you would need to do is buy a GPU block and 2 extra fittings

What case are you using?

My point of view is to avoid Bay Reservoirs. They can be a bit hard to get rid of air bubbles, and they seem to pass more vibration through the case.

I've always preferred the look of tube reservoirs anyway

Hi i am using this Aerocool Strike-X ONE Advance Midi Tower Case and in my case space is a problem as i don't have space for triple fan radiator or for tube reservoirs....

You could easily mount a tube res in your HDD bays,plenty of space

You dont have to have to use a 360 rad.You just need 360mm of rad space.

So you could have a 240mm rad mounted in the front and another rad thats either 120mm/140mm mounted in the top of the case or on the back extractor fanmount
