The idea of the Swiftech H220 coming out really got me thinking about water cooling my rig. I know the H220 will be around $140 and unlike other AIOs it is expanable/upgradable.
Will there be much of a difference between the H220 and the H2O-220-Elite system from Swiftech other than the $100 pricetag difference? Or would building a custom loop for just my CPU and adding my GPU on later be a better way to go? I would like to stay around the cost ($240)of the H2O-220-Elite if building a custom CPU loop.
I basically want something that will be fairly quiet and still allow me to overclock well. I currently have a 2500K with a Thermalright 120 Ultra Extreme @ 4.4GHz 24/7 that maxes out around 66C under Prime95. The GPU is a 6790 but I may have something different by the time I am able to add the GPU waterblock. This will be going into a Xigmatek Utgard case that has a built in location for a 240mm radiator at the top and enough room for another 120 or 240mm in the front if needed later on.http://www.xigmatek.com/product.php?productid=26
Thanks for any possible input.
