Hello,
I have an i7 build (in antec case) that im looking to upgrade to watercooling. I have 2x ATI Radeon HD4870 1gb crossfire setup, core i7, p6t6 WS revolution mobo, 3x 2GB Corsair DDR3 platinum edition, 64GB SSD boot and a 1.5tb Samsung HDD. Im looking for an external resevoir like the Zalman or Koolance Exos-LT, Black V3 that can cool my I7 and 2GPUs and possibly my mobo (not too fussed about this if cost is too high). I would like to spend no more than aroun £260. This is my first watercool build and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Chris

I wouldnt buy a ZALMAN radiator. only their Cpu And Gpu blocks Are acctualy worth something. AS i4yue says Swiftech is a pretty reputable brand

Actually, Zalmans waterblocks aren't even on the list of any proper, informed setup. Real watercoolers won't touch Zalman.

Now koolance is doing better. I'd never buy one of their 'kits', they are weak junk. But koolance has okay blocks, a okay rad, and even a rebadged laing pump for sale now. Thier 360 CPU block did well in tests.
