I just got an e-mail from SVC advertising a complete watercooling kit.

Link

Can anyone chime in as to the quality & value?
Thanks!

its a fairly good kit for a price. Its good for cpu cooling with a good amount of overclocking. I wouldn't throw in a modern gpu into the mix.. The RS radiator is the thinner of the xspc radiators and its only a 240..

The block is great. Fairly new and Ranks pretty high. I have one in my i5 750 stock and its under full load from folding and it never hits higher than 35C with an old triple black ice pro radiator and YL meds at 6Vs.

xspc makes great watercooling stuff. I have they're RX360 radiator and they're xbox 360 block. all made very well.

I am NOT a water cooling expert, but to me it looks pretty nice. It has everything you need except the coolant, so it seems a really low cost way to get into water cooling while still having discrete parts for upgradability.

i have some quams about the pump.

i dont like submerg'd pumps, nor do i like that cheap jingway pump they use in that setup.

The rad is about as par as a mcr series so its alright.

The newer cpu blocks will beat that raza block by a good 3-5C depending on the rest of your components.

So overall, its a good kit to play with, to expand upon, your gonna need more.
