Just wanted to get an idea of the cheapest (but best if that makes sense) water cooling kit i can get to cool just my cpu (i7 920).
Im in Australia so an australian site would be best.
I currently have an i7 920 in a HAF 932 so i have room for the top mounted rad.
My current temps are 35 idle and 70 load at 3.4ghz using prime95 (so thats 100% load for 15 minutes before the temps evened out to around 70-73 with no rising/flucutations.)
So with that said, whats the best kit i can get and is it worth the trouble (those temps are with a decent Rifle S1283 and it doesnt look capable of cooling it further, also, australia gets very hot in summer and ambient here was only 25c when i did the tests, it can get to 35+c....).
Thank you.
EDIT: I was eyeing these parts so far but have no other idea of what to get:
