Best Proven 360mm Watercooling Complete Kit under $300?

skept1k · Jul 28, 2014

As the title says, I'm looking for the best sub-$300/$325 360mm watercooling kit. Post your answers!

Also, if you're feeling froggy. I am building a new machine for $1600 USD. I already have the video card (ASUS R9 290X, picked it up for $180), so no GPU is needed in that $1600. Watercooling with a 360mm and a red/black theme is a must. This is optional, some people find this fun so I figured I'd add it in.

This is a bit unrelated but...
How in the world did you get a 290X for $180?

Would the pump on the EK be strong enough for two rads?

Hehe, pretty damn lucky it was. A local guy was selling his entire PC for $700 to repair his car transmission (8350, h100i, 8GB, 1.5TB storage, 290X, Corsair Carbide Air 540 case) Really nice setup. My friend needed a PC and only had $520, so I gave him $180 and he gave me the card as per the deal, he got two 560 Ti's in return. Hell of a deal if you ask me.

in the ek not so much i wouldnt trust it in the Alphacool it will no problem. ek has 400lph and theAC has a 1500lph and the XSPC one has 750lph which will work also. what all do you plan on cooling?

skept1k · Jul 28, 2014

AC has some nice flow going there. I'm currently looking to cool the Maximus Formula VI/VII as it has built-in support. So Motherboard, CPU, and GPU. Space won't be an issue as I'm getting the Enthoo Primo case, going to have 6, 95CFM Cooler Master Jetflow fans on each 360mm rad. Should get pretty icy. Overclocking is a hobby of mine so I'm going to push the 4790K to its absolute limits for daily use >

If you have any recommendations on 120MM fans that have higher than 95 CFM but aren't ungodly noisy let me know. I can tolerate fan noise pretty well, doesn't bother me much but it can't be an insane amount either.

why higher than 95cfm if your going watercolled you'll need some static pressure fans, like noctua, corsair, and cougar. i would look at build your own kits if you have the money. go on youtube and look for a guy named jaystwocents he has the need to know with watercooling and shows step by step and everything

the Jetflows are pretty nice even in air pressure. You can check it here

Like I said, if you have some good rec. on fans be my guest to link some.

Would that AC kit work for 2 rads and CPU MB and GPU cooling?

zachparr2442 · Jul 28, 2014

yah it will my pump is a 1500lph i round it through the cpu, 360rad, 240rad, 120rad and two gpus, and i have my pump at medium setting and it pushes through fine. your build should be just fine
