I have been looking for a closed loop system for my CPU lately.

Have been reading various reviews on other sites these are the main ones I am interested getting which is Kraken X61 or Corsair Hydro H110i both @280mm rads.

The reviews I have read has been good and they have also pointed out there minor faults.

Any thoughts/advice from the people who got these items at all?

i personally would get the h110i gt, it has better performance than the kraken x61 and also asthetically looks much better with the new pump design, braidied pipes. Also has far better optimised fans aswell.

I own the h110i gt and it is a great cooler.

Also got the corsair H110i GT crackin bit of kit had no problems installing it one thing I will say is the stock fans are not that good the vibrate and make a lot of noise.

I would recommend a Raijintek Triton. Cheaper than a H110i GT and performs just as good, if not better. It also looks very nice in your system.

Corsair H110i GTX is announced, Not sure what the difference is between that and the GT.

Get the Raijintek Core and a pair of Corsair SP120 LED's. I have this system and it's absolutely superb. Quiet, powerful cooling. Pump is utterly silent @ 3000RPM.

Cost from OCUk for the above is 54.95 + 16.99 = 71.94.

Utter bargain for a system that out performs the H100i in tests.

Oh, and I think it looks superb. Check out the thread for it in the Deals section.

Bump more suggestions please. Still unsure which one to get really to be honest.

Triton or the OcUK tech labs (which just had a price cut) should fit the bill nicely.

Technically, they are the same cooler in terms of performance. One is just made by Asetek and the other by Coolit, so pump design are not the same. And where the tubes are placed on the pump is different too.

Thanks for the info. I will get the Raijintek Triton in the end. Seems to have done better the H100/H110i in terms of keeping temps at good low space.

I do like the clear tubing as it goes well with my blue/white themed. The LED white strip will shine though the tubing + the 2 Integrated LEDs on the unit it self.

I'd have to agree, those LEDs in the tank do look nice, and the ability to choose the dye color to match your system theme is pretty clever idea too.
