question about watercooling

kermit_1 · Sep 28, 2014

i was thinking about trying watercooling for the first time and was looking at the Xspc raystorm rx240 watercooling kit..and was just curious if anyone had any info regarding its cooling compared to like a corsair h110...any info would be greatly appreciated.

Not the exact same kit (yours has a better rad) but this should do.

Though I recommend if you plan on including the GPU later on, get a version with a D5 pump, not the bay mounted 750.

ya kit i was looking at had the d5 integrated in the res (tube res)..just wasnt sure the res would fit in the corsair 540.

Not sure on the sizes involved, but looks like you could fit it either above or next to the PSU in the back chamber, or along the bottom in the main. The bottom of the main chamber seems best, its not like there isnt plenty of room to throw a HDD into the back.

ya the res is the photon 170 tube rez..might just take out the hdd trays in front...should give me any clearance i need.

On the phone so not checked links, but yes, my loop started with an rx240 kit as the basis, thumbs up to the d5 option, Ive never had an issue with my three x20 750 pump/resses b7t I know some dislike them, raystorm block is probably a 2-3'c difference over the Rasa block but its your call, but even the bogstandard rx240 kit will outperform a h110
