worth going to watercooling from corsair h70?

fedexpress · 28th July 2012, 9:53 PM

I'm thinking of buying a XSPC watercooling kit like this

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/XSPC-Rays...item4167ac944f

I think scotty has one...

Do you guys think it's worth it going from h70? I just want it for my cpu and have a few questions.

1. How long will it take to install a water system?
2. I want to remove the cpu do i have to remove the whole water system or can i just remove the block like the h70?

running 3930k atm

Are you overclocking?

If not then no, it isn't worth the effort to get it all set up properly.

Same process as H70 if you want to remove CPU.

1. depends on your case really, you will need to be able to install the rad somewhere and it may require some modding. Though if you case is suitable and given it is a kit no that long. The longer part will be filling the loop and leak testing

2. You can just remove the block like the h70, just depends on your loop really, I can change out my motherboard and cpu without pulling down my loop.

It will definitely be worth it temp wise and will help keep temps down while overclocked

thanks guys

yeh i am overclocking at 4.8ghz

temps are below 70 on load which is good but if i do 5ghz it will hit 90+ the moment i run prime >_<

wish they made a better version of the h100 with 360 rad >_<

Go second hand on the parts and you can build the same loop but with a 360 for around the same price easily - Also this should be in the watercooling subsection

they are a great kit and your temps with it should be in the low 70s max @5ghz,
gammods and pccg have them in stock
