So, I've built a few computers and now wish to make my signature rig a little more custom with a custom watercooling loop on the CPU (a major upgrade from my Corsair H60 even though it works just fine). Reading through articles I find, forum topics, etc, it's a bit overwhelming determining which brand to go with, which radiator works well, etc. I have a decent amount of space for a set-up though it's only the CPU I want to cool, and am willing and able to mod my case.
So my questions are these:
Is Koolance a reliable company who makes decent parts with decent customer service? If no, who is?
I was looking at using Koolances Quick-Disconnect fittings, are the no-spill ones worth the money? If no, does anyone else make a similar product?
Will a single 120mm 30 FPI radiator (with 2 Corsair SP 120s) be enough to cool my Haswell i5 4670K OC'd to 4.4 Ghz?
If no to any of the above, by all means please make suggestions (from your experience).
What I was looking at:
Koolance HX-CU420V Radiator
Koolance CPU-380I Water Block
The new no-spill quick-disconnect push-connect fittings (http://koolance.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=60_142_143)
And looking for a green UV coolant, or if I could do clear with green UV piping, that would be aesthetically pleasing for me.
Important Specs:
Coolermaster CM Storm Scout II
Asus Sabertooth Z87
I'd use Corsair SP 120's with whatever I ended up doing.
My budget: $150-250.00 USD
Thank you in advance!
Side note: I really want the quick disconnect for drainage, really want the UV green look to go with the case aesthetically, willing to pay extra for more quality parts/ no-spill parts, I want to do this custom not so much a kit so I can do it for future rigs I build and know how.
