[Guide] Go Custom With The Cooler Master Eisberg Prestige!

Was it worth it?

For me? Yes without a doubt. I love good looks in a build as well as better performance and doing this has given me both by the shovel load. The Eisberg is pretty on its own but combining it with some of the better water cooling parts out there was heaps of fun. I know that further down the line I could add other parts, replace worn out ones and generally have a freedom of expression not seen with other AIO coolers. I now have the benefit of being able to not only overclock to a certain level but keep it loaded without heating the liquid much at all due to the volume of liquid passing through the system and the 140’mm fans will take care of heat transfer quietly, how I like it.

What about costs?

Let’s take into consideration the full cost of an Eisberg 240l Prestige system at £139.99 first then we will add this up.

• Coolermaster Eisberg Prestige CPU Waterblock with Integrated 400L/ph Pump £69.99
• EK Water Blocks EK-Coolstream RAD XTC 280 £59.99
• EK-CSQ Adapter 45° G1/4 Nickel x3 £23.97
• EK-CSQ Adapter 90° G1/4 Nickel x3 £23.97
• PrimoChill Ghost Compression Fittings x6 £24.42
• Primochill 240mm CTR Compression Advanced Reservoir £37.99
• PrimoFlex Advanced LRT 3/8in. ID x 5/8in. OD Tubing (10ft pack) £17
• Thermalright X-Silent 140 140mm Case Fan x2 £17.98
• Mayhems Fluid £14.99
• Total : £ 290.30

Now that is just over double the price of a Eisberg 240l kit. A lot of money to consider there. Obviously your build will be different, you may use more or less kit for your loop but this does show the cost of going custom is not by any means cheap.

If you are serious about going custom watercooling using an Eisberg Prestige you will be saving a few pounds on buying a pump and a block. You will be buying less fittings and wont need to use as much tubing which is great because going custom is a costly practice. It also gives a pretty awesome and clean looking loop, something different.
