Custom loop kit for cooling amd 290X

[mshinebaum]

Hi there.

Water cooling newbie here.

I am currently loving my 290X but the noise is getting to me.
Looked at the prolimatech MK-26 but fitment was looking dubious in my Corsair 550D.

So really what I need is a basic kit to cool a i7-920 at stock and a amd 290x at stock with the emphasis on noise rather than overclocking, that will fit in a 550D. I have plenty of 5.25 bays free. I will try pushing the system clock up once I have it running nice and quiet, in a hope to find a good balance.

I have a budget of around £300.

Meant to mention I am thinking one of the OCUK kits plus the EK water blocks but was not sure what extra I would need in terms of tubing and fitments.


All suggestions gratefully received

Thanks a lot for your help. Looks like a good setup.

Any suggestions on step-ups from my conservative budget. I.e is there anywhere here that a little extra cash could make a big imporvement?
