PRODUCT ANALYSIS CONT’D
Under stock clocks the XSPC kit beat out all of the coolers I’ve tested – although by only 0.25ºC. Let’s turn up the heat and see how it handles it.
With the temps turned up the XSPC kit performed very well coming in at our top spot once again.
Let’s wrap this review up with some final thoughts.
REPORT ANALYSIS AND FINAL THOUGHTS
XSPC has a real winner with this water cooling kit. It includes everything you need (except fluid) to water cool your CPU. If purchased separately the individual components would easily cost you way more than the MSRP of $264.95 for the kit. Right now the only US retailer listing the kit is FrozenCPU and they list it as out of stock.Our rep at XSPC has informed us that there is very limited stock of this kit at the time of this writing but should be available soon. The one main advantage to running a kit like this over an AiO unit is that you can add in your GPU(s) later on if you wish and change up the system to your liking – from tubing and/or coolant color, add/change radiators, etc. If you’re looking for an affordable way to dive into the custom water cooling scene this kit from XSPC will have you covered in style.

Amazing Hardware!
If you’re looking to get into the custom water coolign world but aren’t ready for the task of picking out each individual component XSPC has you covered with the Raystorm/Photon/D5/AX360 kit.
Excellent review of an excellent product, Will!
Welcome to our little (and growing) corner of the web!
This is really a great thing for the experts of Water cooling to do.. To take the Technical out of a professional water loop. Great product and Great Idea.
Doesn’t seem worth the price considering the Noctua is a few degrees off and roughly $165 cheaper.
hahahaha its a great start that may turn into a custom loop someday, there’s enough potential for a GPU block and you are set 🙂 and it will be so much quieter
wow, noctua is even better than this? are you sure? i thought it was better than closed loops like h60 and maybe h100i but not this !!
