Can anyone offer advice on this kit I know its never going to be as good as a £200 kit but i just want something that i could overclock my cpu slightly with and thats quiet I also just quite like the idea of having water cooling. My basic questions are is the pump too wimpy? do you think i could add a northbridge/gpu cooler to this set up without problems or can you recommend a better kit. I dont really want to spend more than £100.

You're probably better off buying second-hand bits off forums like this - the pump is pretty bad (and can't be changed), and the waterblock is an obselete design. Price should be similar and performance better, but you'll have to do more work and won't get the instructions/warranty.

Just won a brand new waterchill kit from ebay consisting of

Black Ice Pro II Radiator
220V Hydor L30 Pump 1200L
2x120mm Low Noise Papst fans
Waterchill Safestart; NoiseControl
Plexiglass Reservoir
Universal CPU block
hoses coolent etc 150 Euros

Hew had a kit for 10 Euros more with vga & northbridge blocks but it had a smaller radiator i should hopefully be able to pick up some blocks. That should be a decent kit shouldnt it?

koolance exos - best external imo
zalman reserator - best quiet external

Might as well get a XP120 with a decent quiet fan will perform about the same!
