Best Custom Water Loop Kit?

Buckley · February 20, 2014

i was looking at the Raystorm kit (http://www.frozencpu.com/products/20835/ex-wat-263/XSPC_Raystorm_750_AX240_Universal_CPU_Water_Cooling_Kit_New_Rev_4_Pump_Included_w_Free_Dead-Water.html)

My processor is an 8350 @ 5GHz and 1.62 volts.

GPU is a GTX 760 but i have a kraken g10 with an h90 cooling it

i plan on getting a mobo block for my crosshair v formula z

is this kit enough too keep my system cool? i plan on adding an extra rad in addition to the one in the kit.

im currently using a h100i and nf-f12 in push pull. my temps are around 75C on load and 22C idle.

will i get a big improvement? will the temps be below 50ish?

Thanks.

PS not looking to spend a hundreds, 200 max for the kit and this looked really good.

To be honest I am not that sure but I don't think it would make a huge improvement. It will be an improvement but I highly doubt you will get to 50C though if you are running at 5GHz. My guess is at best, you will knock 10C off your current temps. Again I am no expert so maybe wait for other people to answer.

I think there is a thread called 5GHz club. Look for other members who are up around those speeds and ask them directly.

you most likely will not see temps below 50C

XSPC makes watercooling kits that are good for begginers.

theres no point in setting up a custom loop for such a low end card you already have a g10 on it thats more then fine

If you already have the G10 on your GPU and the H100 then don't bother, you might see a 2 or 3 degree reduction on load and that is about it. This kit would be good for doing your CPU if you didn't have a AiO already and even better if you planned to add your GPU and an extra rad. As a CPU cooler alone, stick with the H100
