What is the cost of a cpu loop water setup

As the title says what is the general cost and items required to do a standard single loop system on a socket 1155/6 cpu space is a non issue but i dont want shoddy parts, also will the cpu block be compatible between the 2 socket types.

So this is a semi spec me thread :-)

Have a look at the OcUK techlabs kit, V6 and V8 in particular, v8 would be my recommendation of somewhere to start, and yes the block would fit both sockets

Ive just specced myself a similar loop, with a 240rad, and it comes to £170 (similar to the V8, but without the fluid and fans because I already have).

Whats your space, can you fit a 240/360 in there? Do you want the option to upgrade to a GPU loop in the future?

£200 for a basic, but good loop.

I have loads of space got a 600t case and it just looks empty with 1 card in and I want it to have more of a focus point to it easily fit in a 360 i beleive they can fit 480's in the front.

@Cleeecooo - How much extra would it cost to later include a gpu block and loop for a 6970 lightning?

It'll cost ~£50 for the universal GPU block.

You need to have this system prepped fiirst with good rads hough
