In my opinion they are all the same I personally had one and didn't really like the temperatures i was getting so I just did a custom water loop build for all my components and it was night and day different for me. I believe i was getting around mid 40's to 50 degrees Celsius under load which is good but not good enough for me. I'd recommend what was said above or anything with a dual rad connected to the end. Or just water cool your pc and achieve low 30's and mid 30's under load with sli gpus and cpu in one loop :)

Honestly man, thats the dream, just dont have the dorrar at the moment to fund such an exploit :/ being at college living on my own means that 99% of my money is going on staying alive and a lot of saving is being done for anything :(

understandable! but depending on how new your components are you could do it fairly cheap. But all the suggestions above will work on keeping your cpu cooler than a stock heatsink with a fan would for sure. Just depending on the results your looking to achieve which for me wasnt in the mid 40 to 50's depends on how you should go! Its all personal preference anyway! 40-50 is  a safe temp though so dont worry about that being to hot!

this is my setup nothing gets over 38 degrees Celsius

cost wise, the CM 240 and H100i battle the sales pages weekly.

 

performance would be the x60/61 or H110, but not a lot of cases can support the

280 radiator (2 fans yes, but the rad is longer).

Ahhh dude that really is beautiful... If its not too prying how much did that entire watercooling loop cost you? (minus the gpu blocks as i dont have a graphics card worth cooling right now haha.

I can't really say, I have just improved my water cooling over time. I started with 1 rad and a cpu block but if I had to estimate my entire waterloop without the gpu stuff I reckon 400 bucks. With the gpu blocks and sli bridge I probably have close to 700/800 bucks

Most newer cases would support a 280 in the top or front nowdays.
