OEM (iBuypower) Liquid Cooling Kit - $80

http://www.performance-pcs.com/catal...ducts_id=23925

not a bad cpu setup for begnners, at the same price as a TRUE Black, and has potential to delver better temps as well. Ranked well in frostytech's reviews as a top 5 intel cooler, and there's definately some room for customzation

edit: yes, I know diy kits will perform better. this is just for a drop in 20 min, no headaches install

looks like a cheap alternative to the H20-120 - not bad for those who want a first step into watercooling!

Looks like rubbish, the D4 kit that Petras had a couple weeks back would only cost a bit more, and perform leaps and bounds above that kit.

notice I said beginner

its quality stuff, but we all know diy does tend to do better. This is for those who dont want the hassle of building a loop right.

..and for those of us that can't afford a nice loop. I've been looking at the Swiftech H20-220 cause it's what I can afford for liquid cooling and it looks manageable. I wish I could afford more but I have bills like the next guy

If your thinking about getting a water cooler like that, then just get a CooliT system.

If your a novice looking to water cool I wouldn't waste my money on super budget all in one kits.

Spend a few hours reading up on it and do it right the first time.

The Swiftech H20-220 is a huge upgrade over that original kit, and compared to the Coolit as well.

If you can't be bothered to spend a little time to research what your getting into, you deserve whatever trash kit you buy.

I see nothing wrong with using these for low cal PCs IMO, I'm making a second PC which is just for DL/media so no OC = perfect

Yes, but the H2O-220 Compact is $140.00 on Newegg and must be mounted outside on smaller cases. Being an owner of one, I can say it has it's issues as well. Every product has a price point/performance level and it's truly not a bad deal for a lower level rig.
