You won't really get a 280mm radiator for under £80, I would just get a 240mm one;

The white fans are dank also.

I guess i can have the fans pulling and have it at the top or having them at the front so you cant see anything.

Also, i know you recommended that and please don't think i am ignoring you with that.

But how well do you think this will compete? [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

It's a 280mm so i assume that cooling might be better down to it being slightly bigger.

There are more factors than just the radiator size, they will perform similarly, the difference between the two will be negligible.

Alright, thank you for helping.

I might get the one you picked out when it comes to getting an AIO for my PC. If i have more money, i'll shoot you a PM or something if i need further help.

But thanks anyway

You definitely can get a 280mm AIO for £80.

However, you should just pay the premium over the H110 for the X61, you can replace the fans at a later date, that's what I did.

@_Skittle - Rad size definitely is a contributing factor to cooling performance. The larger the radiator, the better the cooling performance would be. This doesn't mean all 280mm AIOs are better than all 240mm AIOs obviously, as there are more factors, but rad size is still a contributing factor. As for the H110 vx the Kelvin S24, they will perform similarly. However, the H110 should be slightly better at cooling, and slightly quieter than the S24. Again, my suggestion is to just pay the premium for the X61, or alternatively, a Kelvin S36, which will perform fantastically in the Enthoo Pro M. I built a rig for a friend in the Enthoo Pro M with a 4690k, and S36, and the CPU stayed under 30c at idle with a 4.5GHz OC, and never went above 65c under load.

The S36 is a little more expensive than the X61, and if you use the S36, you'll have to remove the 5.25" drive cage. If you need the 5.25" bay, or can;t pay the premium for the S36, the X61 would still be a fantastic choice.

Obviously it is a contributing factor, but so it the pump design, FPI, materials used etc, I would get the H110 over the X61, basically the exact same rebranded cooler for cheaper.

The original H110 is 18-24 months older than the X61, the X61 is a much better cooler than the H110. The H110i GT performs similarly to the X61, but is louder. I'm not to sure about the H110i GTX vs the X61, though the H110i GTX is typically more expensive, even the 360mm S36 is less than the H110i GTX.

Ah right, i might get that. It all depends on how much money i have at the time of purchasing the cooler. But if i don't have an dvd drive, how would i go about installing drivers for motherboards and stuff?

I've always had a motherboard disk and installed the drivers of disk, so would i need to access online and download them onto a USB stick or something?

Sorry if that's a stupid question aha

Download drivers from another computer and put them on a USB, and you can use a USB to install your OS, optical drives are irrelevant these days. I built my current system a year or so ago and still haven't required an optical drive. If you'd like the option however, just get a 240/280mm AIO, and you should still be able to install an optical drive. I just know for a fact that the Kelvin S36 will prevent you from installing any optical drives.
