Some of these things are not from OcUK, but if you want the name of the other shop email via trust. If you are planning to only cool your CPU, you could swap for a 120.1 rad to save money.

Watercooling is expensive ^

Indeed. Worth it though for the cooling performance and silence. Could never go back to air cooled cpu

Water cooling is a lot cheaper if you go second hand.

£30 on fittings sounds very steep to me.

Just secured a cracking kit off the mm from various sellers fore around 100 notes. Apogee Gtz, swiftech Mcp 350 pump I think ek Res top, 6 1/2 inch barbs some sexy fat danger den tubin and a brand new rad from the shop. Definitely the way to go second hand, left me with enough funds to grab a second hand ssd too, score!
