Wow this has really changed my thaughts on getting the H50 as all the fiddly work is out of the way

. and really giving me thaughts of what pc i will buy next month. So basicly with all this i just need to buy what RAD, RES/pump or seperate res and pump and thats it

. I will look at this with a lot of thaught for my next build.

Just a check with fittings for this as ive counted inte picture will i need 8 fittings as it looks like there are 8 holes but just making sure

Hi,

I am looking to buy one of these oc'd WC bundles but would like a higher spec bundle. would you be build the following:

Core i7 975EE
rampage II extreme
dominator GT c7 1866

I did send an email before asking for something similar and was told you don't do custom builds - however, if you are selling these bundles, then surely not that hard to change some of the elements?

Thanks

I think they'd be changing pretty much everything other than the thermal paste there!

The waterblocks for the motherboard are often pretty unique to the particular board - OC may not stock those suitable for the R2E, for example.

@nick: The performance difference between what you're suggesting and this bundle would be borderline immeasurable, much less noticeable.

@OP nicely done, that is very, very close to what I'm gradually putting together. Will the board arrive with the blocks attached and plumbed together, just waiting for a pump and radiator? If so, is there a specified radiator/pump for the clock to be valid at and which barbs/tubing do you use?

By my calculations the individual price for the components is £664.54, so you're paying £75.45 for the assembly. For info so you can see at a glance what you're paying for a guaranteed overclock, mobo chipset removal and assembly, not as bad as I thought. Mobo chipset removal is probably one of the main things which newcomers would find a bit daunting especially on these interconnected block days. One thing I would be slightly wary of is screwing barbs into the blocks whilst they are already on the mobo, personally I would want to do this with the blocks off so you can be sure they are tight enough, and also so there is no risk of affecting the seating of the block. Also what fluid is used during testing, and like Jon says, what maximum load cpu temp was achieved by whatever rad/pump combo used in testing. Surely to guarantee the overclock you will be wanting your customers to at least hit that temp with their rads/pumps?

Edit: You may also want to put in some sort of disclaimer if anyone tries to add a gpu to the loop.
