Question Looking for a waterblock upgrade

Hey i have the original Waterblock that came with my Thermaltake Armor LCS But i heard it is not so good so i want to get another one although my cpu temps are 10-13c at idle. So i am looking for some reccomendations. Also i need some new tubing because the Thermaltake tubes kink and my old zalman tubes never used to do that, they were much thicker too. I live in spain so it the website has to have the availability of shipping to the EU.

The most important thing to do is get a new radiator. The one the thermaltake case comes with is Aluminum, which will cause corrosion with a copper waterblock (like the one you have). I'd suggest getting an MCR-220 to replace your current radiator, and a D-TEK FuZioN V2 as a CPU waterblock replacement.

Lets not get carried away here (fixed) j/k

Seriously though get a new block and radiator. You could get both for about $150.

Grab some Primochill or Feser or Masterkeer tubing and some PrimoChill Anti-Kink coils.

Performance-Pcs has a very good selection of components and I'm pretty sure they do international shipping.

Your computer for the most part is awesome. However, no offense or anything, but your watercooling setup isn't any good. In fact, I'm guessing that my $30 Xigmatek air cooler would probably be just as good as your Thermaltake watercooling kit. Never buy any liquid cooling kit from Thermaltake, please.
