I originally posted this in the OC and Cooling forum but recommended to post here:
So i have been considering upgrading my CoolIt Vantage ALC cooler to an H100 for a couple of weeks now (since i needed something on my Christmas list). I have only had my pc for 5 or 6 weeks but i love tinkering with it so i need something to occupy me and thought a cooler upgrade might be nice. However, today i watched a video on you tube for a 120mm water cooling system for CPU only and the kit cost about £100.
So i was wondering, if i bought an H100 it would cost £80 for the unit and 2x £10 for the fans i would put on it, then it would mount nicely in the top of my 600T and all be over pretty quickly. But if i bought the single 120mm cooling block and all the necessary stuff to go with it, it would also cost £100. So is the H100 just saving me time? Because i'd rather do it myself to be honest, much more fun.
Or would i need a much more expensive watercooling kit to get the same cooling performance as the H100, thus costing me more?
im currently selling a bunch of new HDDs on the bay so i should have a little money come through soon and may be able to afford a water cooling setup.
What would you suggest?
In addition
What sort of price would i be looking at to make a comparable loop to a H100.

Is that everything cooled or just CPU?
