So i'm doing a rig for a mate, he now wants watercooling, i'm wondering whats the best sort of CPU/VGA only setup I can get, his case is the NZXT Lexa, and he is overclocking his 3800X2 wants stable 2.6-8ghz. Thanks in advance!

i think you can buy more or less all in one CPU coolers, weather or not they are any good is a different thing, let me go look for the name of them.

I would've thought 2.6-2.8GHz would be possible on air anyway? My last X2 made it all the way to 3.0GHz on air

What graphics card has he got?

The NorthQ Siberian Tiger Water Cooler

I have a 3800X2 at 2.9 and I use the Swiftech kit. I got one off the auction site for about £70 but list is a fair bit higher although this one was actually brand new!

To do both cpu/gpu for under £100 is pretty much impossible with any kind of quality unless second-hand.

XSPC do a kit for cpu-cooling that can be had for under £70 and they also do gpu blocks. It's not the best but your price limit is not going to allow the best!
