XSPC RayStorm 750 AX240 Intel WaterCooling Kit

Many complain about the pump being loud after reading forums about it I found out that only the rev 3 pump has had those problems and so the rev 4 pump is much nicer and completely quiet if you have it completely submerged, The fans that come with the kit however are not quiet. I reccomend Gentle Typhoon AP-14 since they are still reasonably priced around 20 in most places or the Noctua NF F12.I had no problems putting this kit together however the biggest complaint might be that the hose is not of the best quality so turning radius is not superb. Leak testing wasnt the biggest deal for me since I used Distilled water and just waited for any bubbles to come out of the line after 12 hours or so. They say that you should wait 24 hours for leak testing but usually if it hasn't leaked in a small loop in 12 to 16 hours your generally good to go.

The kit overall was fine, the bay reservoir apparently has known defects where the plastic plug on the back leaks. XSPC tells you to contact the seller for warranty and this seller doesn't respond.

Being a hobbyist system builder, I build several systems for my gaming family every so often (~5 years). This past year I built systems with closed-loop cooling solutions and decided I'd branch out and try something new and potentially stronger for my FX 9350 processor. I swapped this in for the Corsair H100 that I was using and noticed ~4-6 degrees difference idle and a whopping 12-16 degrees difference under load. As the 9350 is a HOT processor, to begin with, this was huge in my book and alleviated a lot of concern I had for the peripheral heat-related damage to VCore-1 (I plan on adding this to the cooling loop(s), in the future).This thing was easy to install and convert for AM3+, using the provided pieces. I have a cramped tower with two video cards (using Crossfire). So, having the ability to mount the radiator/fans outside of the case was a welcomed change, as with the closed-loop solutions you cannot accomplish this without welding/cutting the case.The CPU block they provided is a stellar block and I did a lot of research before purchasing this kit. Most reviews for this CPU block were very good.The only reason I didn't put this at 5 stars, is that the pump may not be strong enough to support inclusion of an additional radiator and putting blocks on the video cards and motherboard components. It is a kit, after all.Over all, I'd say this kit was priced much lower than its value. It was a great deal and provided a good start/introduction to a water cooling novice. I'm hooked, now!

best water cooling solution for the price, no need to buy parts when you have this excellent key, works amazingly well and quiet, keeps my cpu and videos cards cool all the time, if you are into modding your pc, this should be one of the items you should get.

Currently running this with my 3820 clocked at 4.9ghz with absolutely no issues, running at about 55c under max load :D
