Help with a loop

scotsdragon · 13 Apr 2013 at 10:18

Im sending my corsair h100i back as the fans rattle like hell and corsair have been out of stock for the replacments for a fortnight.

So i would like a Loop specced for my i5 3570k. i could buy the OC kit if we cant design better ( i have about 180 pounds for everything when i get paid)

I would like d5 vario as i wish to expand loop later.

a 240mm rad no thicker than the h100i or longer( my case limits me to this size for push config in roof, CM storm stryker).

A good res and all fittings and tubing ( im told compression fitting are best for new builders)

The fans i was looking at was

i have the coolermaster storm stryker case

and im told the max rad i can fit with single set of fans on my roof is 30mm thick i want a good loop for my cpu only just now but would like to add atleast one water cooled GFX card later.

Im not set on the d5 vario id like it but im also aware of budget constraints and as long as i get a good loop thats better then my H100i ill be happy.

So if anyone can spec me a good loop with everything that i need and could fit in my Storm Stryker for 200 pounds or less id be a happy bunny thanks

the OC one v8 i think its is very nice and most deffo my goto choice if we ant build better.

a lot of the reviews and youtube videos say dont worry bout inner space as you can mount the rad and use fans on the outside and it will be covers by the outer shell/handle

Josh its the overclockers premade kit all i have added is another bottle of fluid and some more hose incase i cut abit to short and the jumper tool for my slave PSU

im told this kit is very good value for money and can be upgraded and my case is the storm strker by cooler master which chould be able to fit this in the roof easy if not ill either get it in the floor or mod the roof
