£200 to cool cpu

Captain Chaos · 24 Jun 2011 at 09:46

As title,

Had high hopes on spending a small fortune on a watercooling setup. Well until the missus decided to tell me she was pregnant (will kill the milkman when i see him).

Anywhoos im not giving in. Im looking to spend 200 on a cpu watercooling setup. Can it be done? Any ideas on what to buy? My case is a phantom nzxt so wont fit a 360rx. a 360rs might fit but would be safter with a 240.

Yes the XSPC H2o kits get good reviews, shayper has made nice job of installing H2o in his phantom well worth a look.

I thought there was an issue with the pump being in the resevoir. By that I mean not lasting very long

Hi colthillary, that was on the Rev 1 Res-Pump, Rev2 Res-Pump got beefed up, l've been runing one for about 10 months can't fault it.

I've had a XSPC 750 res/pump for a year and a half now with no problems touch wood
