Is this a decent kit? I'm only looking to cool the CPU. It's a Q6600 at 3.6Ghz, 1.525v. Would the load temperatures be better than if I were to use a TRUE and a moderatly powerful fan (70CFM)?
Yeah, i know it's a kit. But this is going to be my first watercooling setup and I would like to be eased in to the experience and use a ready made loop and instructions specific to those parts.
Well the H20-220 seems like a good kit.. I just want something different from the usual heatsinks. I would have prefered to have clear tubing but I guess I could always buy replacements later on?

Thats the great thing with the H20-220, its a great starter kit, because teh components are pretty good quality, so you can just add to it as you get more obsessed.
Also, i would probably take my PC downstairs into the kitchen to install and test the kit. Is it safe to bring it back upstairs with all the liquid in? I mean it's gonna be heavy so it would be swaying around quite a bit. Nothing will get damaged?
Ive had this kit now for 3 days and it piss's over any air cooler, reviews ive seen on this kit say it performs on par with kits costing over twice as much.
Ive seen reviews were its put up against other kits and it comes out the winner.
To the OP : I got the full XSPC V3 kit for £73 including VAT and delivery.

Yea, transport it as much as you want.
Great thing about the H220-220 is that the pump in the pump/cpu block combo is a DDC3.1. You can take off the base waterblock and solder one connection and turn it into a DDC 3.2 and buy a pump top for it and upgrade the CPU block.

Awesome. If i wanted to later on could I swap out the tubing for a clear set? I want to see some green bug juice
Almighty, does any liquid dye come with the XSPC kit?
The problem with the XSPC kit is the rad - a 120 is not quite enough for a heavily overclocked quad. Swap out the rad for a 220 and it should be fine. Still prefer the H20-220 though.
It says they don't have the D-Tek waterblock in stock at the moment so I have to use the Apogee GTZ. is this a better waterblock?
Yes it is.
EDIT: I'm sorry, I thought you were talking about instructions being in the H20 220 kit, not the D4 kit. I don't think Petras sends guides with their kits. But us watercooling dudes will be happy to help you out.

Add £22 for a 240 rad, still cheaper then the H20 kit.
