Hey Everyone!
I was wandering, I am looking to upgrade to water cooling, but my case is WAY to small, I am on a budget of about £180 and I was wandering if I should buy a Thermaltake Kandalf L.C.S
or buy all the components myself.

Cheers

thermaltake LCS system's are poor, and for the less you can get a Chieftec Aegis with the custom water cooling system by alphacool, all you need is the coolant and you have a complete water cooling system for the CPU.

but you can only buy them on scan.co.uk.

Don't buy any water cooling kits. Period. There are a few Swiftech kits that are the exception here, but most after market LCS are cr@p.

The Swiftech H20-H220 is a very nice watercooling kit. Hell I would go as far as to say it is the best watercooling kit out there and the only one worth buying.

I want a BIG loop with a VGA block, Res and Pump, it's mostly for show =D, and because I said that you're probably going to say 'well you don't need it' but I do ^^

look at the zalman reserator series, you'll also need to get some vram sinks aswell.

I think the non-fan one just about fits in your budget.

^ I meant heatsinks, the ram can die if it gets too hot aswell you know.

^ nope, the vram doesn't, the one on your graphics card, that's why you need heatsink's or something that covers both the GPU and ram.

Good luck finding a kit that will cool your GPU AND CPU.

you'll need a reservoir to go with that.

it's a very small one, I'd buy that and one of the dual bay XSPC 750 pump/reservoir then a couple of 500cc coolant.
