Best Water Cooling for around 100$

[fatetheory]

Any Suggestions?

Umm...either Coolermaster Aquagate or a bunch of used parts.

I wouldn't go with water cooling with that kind of budget, you'd end up with results similar to what you can get with some good air cooling. If cheap water cooling is what you really want, I guess that Aquagate could do the trick.

Save up and get something that will perform better than high-end air.

The best budget WC is the Big Water form TT.

You can't get good water cooling for $100. It's much better to get high-end air. It will perform just as good as, if not better, than water cooling.

No way, at least not compared to a Big Water.

My aquagate mini 120mm works fabulously well. It lowerd my temps almost 10C load over a modded SilentBoost K8. cost me $99 at Microcenter. i'd recommend that. the 80mm series probably sucks as the fan and radiator are too small to get rid of much heat.

(You won't be able to water down your GPU(s) with this kit though.

This will perform as well if not better than Your $100 watercooling setup and it's 50% the price. http://www.pctoys.com/840556035572.html

i highly suggest you not the get any watercooling kits for $100..while there are several all-in-one models for watercooling but they provide poor performance that can be easily beaten by hi-end air...

think about it..a quality waterblock cost around $100...and now you are getting the WHOLE kit..how much corner must they cut?

if you buy used through this forum you may be able to make a nice watercooling setup

i have done this myself
bix used for 25
mcp600 pump for 40
waterblock 20
120mm fan for 10
lines bought local about 10

so close to 100 for a budget cooling system that performs well
