    Im making the jump to water cooling. But I dont like the look of many of the kits out there, but I do like the look of the Zalman reserators in particular the XT Hybrid -

    Im just wondering if anyone had experience with them or any opinions?

    Its not the best by any means. Its fine for a low spec and non overclocked cpu, but dont add on a gpu block or more, it simply wont handle it. As a rule, all in one - out of the box watercooling kits are generally rubbish !

    Something like this, although a all in one kit has an amazing price/performance ratio :

    Thanks for the reply Anti

    I have an overclocked system so I best leave the reserator aside in that case.

    I did like the look of the swiftech h20-120, but id Like something that could cool CPU & GPU (with the option of NB if I wanted to). Ill keep searching

    YOu would be better off to choose a custom kit if you want to cool all that. Cut up the case to fit a 320mm rad, res, pump, 3 blocks. Mind you, you could probably get all that for 250£ or cheaper if you shop around.
