Watercooling to CPU - LarKooler or EF (OR FROM TECHBAY?)

[Simen]

Hi guys!

Im thinking about buying watercooling only for my CPU first. Maybe for the graphic card later

So I'm not sure what to buy. I have found several watercooling kits you guys may want to look at:

Larkooler Extreme Performance Complete Kit (KU3-241) ( http://www.aquatuning.no/product_info.php/language/en/info/p11905_Larkooler-Extreme-Performance-Complete-Kit--KU3-241-.html )


EK Water Blocks EK-KIT H3O 240 LTX ( http://www.aquatuning.no/product_info.php/language/en/info/p13063_EK-Water-Blocks-EK-KIT-H3O-240-LTX.html )
Or the more expensive version:
EK Water Blocks EK-KIT H3O 240 HFX ( http://www.aquatuning.no/product_info.php/language/en/info/p13065_EK-Water-Blocks-EK-KIT-H3O-240-HFX.html )

Larkooler Universal High Performance Advanced Kit CPU/GPU ( http://www.aquatuning.no/product_info.php/language/en/info/p11904_Larkooler-Universal-High-Performance-Advanced-Kit-CPU-GPU--BA2-243-.html )

OR this one (translated from norwegian to english using google translate):

Sorry for the long url's but hope it's fine.

What do you guys think of those above? Which one should I choose to cool my IB 3570K and place in (maybe) a Corsair Carbide 500R.

Thanks in advance!

No to anything Larkooler.

The others on that list are good choices- the TechBay kit looks like a rebranded EK kit.

Thanks for answer!

Okay so no larkooler!


So the one fron techbay is EK rebranded? So the same as the EF from autotuning?

I also found this from techbay: http://translate.google.no/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Ftechbay.no%2Fproduct.html%2Ftechbay-supersilent-vannkjolingsett-2x120-30%3Fcategory_id%3D84
Suppose to be a quite one.. But its so cheap, what do you think?

Those I have linked to, which one should I buy?


EDIT: I mean EK in thread title xD if any mod see this pleace change to EK!

 

[amuffin]

Any XSPC kits?

 

[Simen]

Can't see any with XSPC in stock :/
Norwegian sites..

So which one should I go for?

This:

and this:

Look almost identical except for the radiator, which the EK kit has a thicker rad. Even the TechBay kit states they are using EK gear.

 

[Simen]

The one from Techbay is £42 more expensive then the one from autotuning, so if they are most identical maybe I'll go for the cheapest one from EK (autotuning)?

 

[rubix_1011]

That would be my choice as well- it's a thick EK rad vs. the other being a thin (never heard of that brand before) radiator.
