Could I ask some of the more experienced with watercooling to look over these kits for me?
My current rig has a Thermaltake LCS+ system built in, and I've been very happy with it for the past 4 years, so I've decided to add water to my new build I'm currently specing out.

They have 3 kits on offer. Entry, Performance and Expert.
Can I get some opinions on them? I will only be cooling the CPU for now, which will be an AMD FX-8350 that I will be overclocking.
Do those kits look decent? Which one should I go for?
Also, if it matters, this is the case I'm going for:

Thanks.

Thanks :up:

Well I did actually look at the Corsair Hydro, and you're right, I will not be overclocking hard and will likely never bother with GPU cooling.
One thing though, the listing for that says "Have a PC case that supports a top-mounted 240mm radiator? Take your CPU cooling to a new level."
Do these Hydro's need to be top mounted? Can I not put it on the rear?
I'm pretty sure my case only supports rear mounted rads. It hasn't actually arrived yet but the pics on Amazon show holes on the rear for tubing, and with those ridges on the top I seriously doubt one would fit in there.
And forgive me if this is a dumb question, but I assume the Hydro's are a sealed unit? As in there is no reservoir? Can the hosing be removed from the rad to feed it through the back of the case?

They are designed to mount internally cauz u cant unmount the fitting...well at least not convinient at all but u can figure out for example drill 2 holes above the PSU hole to pass the cables and the CPU block :)

let me show you

this is cuting the fan and the holes moving up

but

if you have PSU hole above wil be easier even if you have it at the bottom u got me ?

Not quite sure what you meant there. Was there supposed to be a pic or something?
I think I might actually just go for this
