Hi peeps ive allways used corsair h50..h80i & antec kuhlers. Im now really lookin into something that packs a lil more punch.
Ive been searchin high n low for the last week tryin to find the best suitable kit.

Pls could someone tell me if I get the swiftech apogee drive II with the built in pump then I wud need a 240mm rad (its gotta be a slim one I found this koolance one HX-CU720V)
I know the corsair H100i would fit in a phantom 410 at top so checkin the rad dimensions and 15mm fan spacing it seems the koolance HX-CU720V seems to be very similar in dimensions. Only thing the HX-CU720V doesn't have is a fill port. So what do I do?

guys any help wud be really appreciated. I just wanna cool cpu prob 4770k no gpus. Want a simple setup my first proper watercooling setup. If the swiftech H220 fitted the phantom 410 properly I wud hav just gone that route.

ive not got the mobo yet deciding between asus hero or gigabyte Z87X-OC

You have to buy a res for that setup.

That rad will cool your CPU really well, but you'll need a bit better (higher RPMS) for it since it's a 30 FPI rad.

thanx I had a quick read thru the link. There is room if I take out the hard drive cage. Prob enough for res I think. I have 2 Noctua NF-F12s for rad fans. Not sure if these wud be enough tho.

what do you think to this kit Swiftech H20-220 Elite Series Liquid Cooling Kit. The rad has the built in reservoir the cpu block got the pump. Only prob would be the rad wudnt fit on the case.
But what if I externally mount it? Suppose could do the same with H220

Great kit, out the back will work fine.

Can't buy the H220 if you live in the US, it's in patent lawyer crap. The H220 is okay, if you can afford the better one, get it.
