Hi Guys
Over the past few weeks I have been working on a new WC offering from us.
Our Tech Labs kits have proven to be really popular over the past few years but a lot of the feedback I receive on them is that they are targeted at end users looking for extreme performance and as such are quite expensive.
The goal of these new kits is to offer the expandable, adaptability of a custom watercooling setup for our best possible price.
With the launch of the new XSPC X2O 420 pump reservoir, we finally have access to a decent value pump reservoir option which has allowed me to start work on developing these kits.
I started watercooling using an all in one solution like this and it is perfect as a plug in play solution. The new version from XSPC has ironed out reliability issues that used to be a problem on some older units.
We are expecting stock of the pumps in a few weeks. As soon as they land, we will start shipping the kits. They will be on pre order until then.
Each Kit comes with the following:
1X Hardware Labs - Black Ice Radiator GTS-Lite
This radiator is a sturdy unit made by our exclusive partner, Hardware Labs. Featuring 30 Fins Per Inch, this radiator is perfectly balanced for performance and quietness with low air resistance.
1X Performance Pump & Reservoir Solution
This pump is submerged in a reservoir the size of a DVD drive which makes mounting the unit in a case really easy. Filling from the top makes this an ideal unit for newcomers when it comes to installation and maintenance.
1X EK Water Blocks Supreme LTX Performance CPU Block
EK Water Blocks are one of the most influential companies in Watercooling. Speak to any watercooling veteran and they will most probably have owned at least one EKWB product. The Supreme LTX is a cut down version of the popular Supremacy waterblock. Whilst not the absolute best performance block on the planet, the LTX offers immense performance for the price and will be built better than the other rubbish that usually ships in £100 watercooling kits.
Alpenföhn 120mm Föhn PWM Fan
Tested by myself for performance on the bundled radiator, the Föhn PWM Fan is a great fan for the money that performs well and maintains quiet operation with the benefit of PWM for user control. A feature that most value kit fans don't have. You get one fan in the 120mm kit and two fans in the 240mm kit.
1X Mayhems Pure H2O Coolant
Until Mayhems showed up, watercooling companies flapped about when it came to making coolant. The amount of money I have spent on snake oil products that dont live up to the hype and look rubbish after a few weeks is insane. Mayhems develop and produce their products in the UK.
This is the real deal, proper R&D goes into this stuff, rather than generic blue goop you get in most other value kits. Simply put, this is the only coolant you should consider putting in your WC system.
If you want a coloured coolant, we sell Mayhems dye on the website which will allow you to dye this coolant any colour you like.
1X XSPC Tubing
This is a fairly basic clear tubing with a nice bend radius which means it doesnt kink too easily. The tubing is clear and will allow you to see your coolant. Easy to cut and fits tightly to the included barbed fittings.
6X XSPC Barbed Fittings
Black Chrome fittings which are slightly larger than the included tubing to ensure a tight fit from the tubing. For extra security, you can use small zip ties around the base of the barbs if you wish.
The kits currently don't come with any instructions but I am working on an instruction manual which will eventually ship with the kit.
Until then, This thread has as much information as can be offered as well as instruction manuals from various generic WC kits which pretty much apply to this kit.

OcUK Tech Labs - Value 120 Kit @ £94.99 inc VAT
Our OcUK Tech Labs - Value Kits have been developed to encourage first timers and system builders to adopt watercooling.
For years now, watercooling kits for circa £100 have been compromised in some way. To create a watercooling kit that fits into a £100 budget, there will always be parts in the kit which are not great.
Value kits by their very nature, appeal to newcomers. The worst thing that a newcomer can experience is poor quality components and associated failures.
Taking what we have learned from our Premium OcUK Tech Labs Kits, these Value kits have been cherry picked in partnership with established brands using products picked specifically for their high reliability track record and the customer service that each brand included with this kit prides themselves on.
These kits are perfect for newcomers but also represent excellent value for those looking to upgrade to watercooling.
If you can build a computer, you can watercool a computer!
This kit requires a case with a 5.25 bay and a 120mm fan mounting point in order to mount the pump & reservoir combo and radiator in order to install.
