I've never done watercooling before, It's scary!
But I'm going to dive in, I'd like someone to take away the hard part of the job and spec me exactly what I'll need.
Now I know the hard part of a custom loop is getting something that will work with a case, well I'd like you to spec me a case aswell. So if you get to choose the case, I suppose the loop config should be easier to spec?
My only request is that the case is white, and nothing hideous, Style please. I do like the Bitfenix case in white, with the window. My Living room has hints of red, so the LEDs on the case will be set to red. And I suppose red coolant or tubing would complete the aesthetics. lol, I think I chose the case in the end...
The loop will be cooling an I5 2500k, and I want to beable to take the same loop and cool an Ivybridge setup later.
The loop doesnt need to cool my GPU, Graphics card overclocking is just too fiddley for my liking. So the loop will just be for the CPU.
I do want to go as cold as possible, What is a realistic budget? If i say £200 am I kidding myself with regards to getting the best custom loop for a 2500k?
Let's just say the budget is flexible, But dont be silly with it
Thank You!
Also, If all the parts arent sold at OCUK(I love you guys and will buy whatever i can from you) write me down the name of the recommended part and I'll happily source it myself.
