I currently got a barton 2500+ clocked to 3200+ using a Thermaltake Volcano
7+ and am getting fed up with the noise its producing so I am considering
going over to watercooling again! (yes I once had koolance prebuilt
watercooling case but had bad experience it leaked )

I would want least noise possible and be as cheap as possible if I have to
build it up myself or preferably a pre-built one of good quality (Vapochill
too expensive)

I also like my current atx case so a kit with good adapability would be a
major requirement.

Anyone any suggestions?? just dipping my toe in water

cheers.

I don't have any direct experience of the Res 1, the 2 people I know who
have them say;
They're good for reducing noise (but so is a decent air cooler) and they
look pretty cool.
They're not as good as air (or proper water) for overclocking,
temperature easily exceeds 55-60C with 1.75 vcore on both systems at 22C
ambient.

A lower priced kit that works perfectly and doesnt leak. I've been using one
for 2 years now.
