How could I upgrade my setup?

[RollerBall]

Well I've got a load of left over cash again and I'm wondering what upgrades I could put into my setup to help decrease my temps.

ATM I'm running the H20-ultra kit. I was thinking about replacing my 240mm rad with a thermochill 360mm and adding another 1650RPM yate loon. That way I could undervolt them all a little lower than I currently have the two I've got(atm about 8-9v).

But I'm not sure it would fit in my case. I use the top 4 bays with my power buttons, fan controller DVD-RW and scythe quiet drive. So I'm not sure if the rad would fit. How much of an impact would it have on my overall temps too?

I'm not sure if it's worth replacing my apogee GT since it's only maybe 2-3*C off the best, unless somebody can reccomend a better heatsink that isn't extremly expensive. sub-£40.

My pump and res are fine though. Any ideas?

Hmm, you can try a Dtek Fuzion V2 waterblock or an EK Supreme. Maybe add 2 more 120mm fans for push/pull on that MCR220 you have now. No sense in getting a 3x120mm rad if you don't have the space for it, unless you'll mount it to the back of your case.

I don't plan on doing any external mounting since I'm trying to keep it quiet and don't want to do any drilling.

I'm also trying to shy away from adding more fans in a push pull since it'll obviously add much more noise. Going to go hunting for reviews on the EK supreme, since the acrylic version caught my eye. Hmm can't find any comparisons between the V2 and the supreme, only V1. Any reccomendations?

Just to confirm, which of the following is your kit? I can't find one with GT. Perhaps they updated their kits. In that case, do you mind posting your full wc specs please?

If you're just cooling your CPU, there's no need to get a better radiator. That 220 is more than enough to keep it cool. If you have plans to cool the NB and GPU, i'd add another rad.
