generalkorrd Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 (edited) Hi folks. Just wanting to get some input and reccs on a w/c setup for my 2600k and xfx hd6870 black edition gpu. I am very noob to w/c but pretty good with computers in general. I did look at the sticky for w/c help and checked the stores and links, but frankly there is so much different stuff to choose from, a guy can get lost if he is nubbish like me. I am obviously attracted to the XSPC setups due to the low price, but also am hesitant because it is so much lower than other stuff out there. Right now I have a CM v6gt on my cpu and it is entirely too loud and it still gets to 80c when loaded on 4.5 ghz oc. Not acceptable to me at all. Also, my gpu gets loud as hell when loaded down, and I am just really tired of all that noise in my living room. So you could say my main objective is silence, with actual temp performance a very close second. I don't do crazy oc's or benching, just a gamer. I have an HAF 932 case that is made for a w/c setup, so I definitely want to take advantage of that. My budget would be no more than around 250 or so for the basic cpu kit and I can add gpu later on. Thanks for any help Edited July 31, 2012 by generalkorrd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
My_Inner_Fred Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 Seems similar to my 2600k hitting 80C+ when going at 100% load... To be honest the XSPC sets are probably your best bet on good watercooling at a low price compared to the sealed loop set-ups.

I have enough problems of my own. Good luck on yours though. Do you hav experience with the xspc stuff then? Is it good and reliable or just cheap crap?

From what I know they make good watercooling kits and they preform better than closed loop sets like this H70 I have.

Ok, well i will definitely look a little harder at those then. I do have a chance to pick up some used w/c stuff, so I'm going to see how that prices out and go from there. That rx360 kit from xspc looks pretty good at 189, seems to be right up my alley. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

d6bmg Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 xspc stuffs are reliable. P.S. I don't understand the OP's tone in most of his posts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
generalkorrd Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 Whats wrong with my tone? I didn't expect the h70 to perform so poorly, and I really have nothig to add to Fred's thread as I don't have enough knowledge, so I decided to stay out of it. Then I wondered where any advicegivers were. I cant see how that's a problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My_Inner_Fred Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 The H70 works great for alot of people but ambient temps play a large factor in what temps they get on their CPU. If your room is 20C then expect to see lower temps than someone who's room is 29C(mine) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
