Cryonics Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 I have 2 of them on my sr2 build with a full coverage block 1 on the chipset and the other on the 5620's. I have had them at 4gz and never broke out of the 40c range on them. Imo they are a great buy no problems at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wevsspot Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 Ok thanks Wevs . Hopefully the pump will live for quite a while Else I'll just buy a seperate res and get a MCP655 pump with new barbs and fittings for 1/2 ID tubing That's my setup exactly - and I'm very pleased with it. So would certainly be an option.................... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedway Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 This kit is costing me $315 in converted currency so it better be worth it. Wow, 2x the cost is crazy! Why not have an OCC member help you out on this one. $150 + shipping to South Africa would be closer to $200, instead of $315 I hope this is going on your i7 Nyt Even though I am assuming this is going in that WC project build But, I think for the value, this is a great WC kit, and XSPC makes solid WC products Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyt Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 Nah I'd rather go local since they'll deal with RMA's I actually decided to put this on my i7 I sold my H70 today Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuclear Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 Wow...I'd hate to see how much a better water cooling loop would cost. I wouldn't pay over $300 for this kit, but I don't know your alternatives either. Crazy stuff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy stuff Dude thats nothing , due to import costs and stuff my two 580's ended up costing me $1572 lol Everything is expensive here even good beer ... Not that I would know Lol jk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyt Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 Okay ordered it today and should arrive this week after I pay for it I've got a spare 120.2 Swiftech rad which I saved for my other build , should I add that to my loop ? Im only cooling the cpu and is the X20 pump powerful enough ? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wevsspot Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 No need to add the extra radiator until you start adding stuff to your loop. Since you're only water cooling your cpu right now, the single radiator will be more than adequate. Congrats on the new parts!

Nyt Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 Thanks Wevs I'm thinking of importing a couple items in the future : A couple Swiftech universal gpu blocks for my 580's along with some nice thicker tubing with black barbs and fittings and high quality red uv coolant with cold cathodes with an RX360 rad and an additional rad box to still be able to use the original 360mm rad . But thats in the future as all my funds are now depleted Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Water_Hazard Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 Unless you can put a couple slots between the cards, I would go with full cover blocks. I tried the universal blocks with my 3 580's and couldn't get them to fit with the normal 2 slot spacing, plus it is a lot easier to link full cover blocks together in SLI Congrats on your new parts though. I think once you try water you are going to be hooked, especially with the GPU's, going from 70c-80c load temps at stock voltage to 60c load temps at 1.2v Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyt Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 I've got 3 slots between the two 580's . Full cover blocks are just too expensive + I'll probably get Keplar late 2012 . I'll also get 90 degree fittings for the Swiftech blocks. Im more looking forward to reduced i7 temps and when Bulldozer come I hope to get 8 cores at 5GHz with a bigger rad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
