Cheap Water Coolers that are still reliable?

[MeesterJackson]

Can some of you list some cheaper AIO's that are still reliable? I'm going to be running a Xeon build but I still want the chip to stay cool (I'm also thinking about increasing the base clock and trying to "overclock" it a tad) and I'd figured I'd give water cooling a first time try. 

 

I've been looking at the Corsair H55 (the newer one) and the H60 doesn't look too bad either. Thoughts on those?

 

Any other recommendations?

Waste of money. Just get a 212 Evo or something

Those cheap water coolers aren't good, they are around a good air cooler(like a hyper 212 evo).

like there were ever any cheap water coolers

Like the others above have stated: they are a waste of money. 

 

Maybe you could stick your pc in a fridge and play it, you did ask for recommendations

 

I've heard good things about the Nepton

get a seidon 120 if u really want

If you really want to do watercooling, I would recommand the corsair H105 or the Swiftech H220-X / H240X as for AIOs. The Swiftech one's supposed to be upgradable to go with a custom loop later. It might be a good start.

Alright well what about the H75? It's like right next to the H80i's performance and costs slightly less.

What about the H75? It's nearly like a H80i for slightly less.

For a Xeon that you're only base clock OCing no, nothing is really worth it over a 212 Evo

But you have a Xeon, it's not worth it to get a aftermarket cooler.

When OC'ing the base clock it is. The D14 is huge. I might need to add more RAM later (which I am considering) I'd hate to have to uninstall it.

Finneee the 212 Evo is a pain in the ass to install sometimes though.

Uhh wat, Xeon are locked....

FSB boost OC is a little boost.

When OC'ing base clock you'd be lucky to get another 500MHz out of it... You'd likely be fine even with something like an Arctic Alpine 11

Yeah I guess.

True, but it'll still get slightly hotter.
