|  Suggest a Water Block I want a good very high preforming water block for my CPU. I'm using the Koolance Exos-2 and want a good adapter free LGA775 compatible block with 3/8th" fittings (10mm ID). It's going on an E6600 Conroe at 3.6 GHz. Running off of an Asus Striker Extreme, 8800GTX... the works :-P Thanks for the help.

| Re: Suggest a Water Block most all the pre fabbed kits are....... wel kinda like buying a pre built pc... putting together your own loop is a much better setup..... If you want to get the most out of a high end water block you might want to consider starting fresh.

| Re: Suggest a Water Block No hah, Exos-2 aren't cheap. And I prefer the Exos because the whole system is out of my case which i like. Right now I have a complete custom system, but the water block's inner seal exploded so now all it has is the outer seal which I won't trust for too long.. I justy like the Exos, and has good reviews and good temps for my CPU. Meh, What would you suggest then?

| Re: Suggest a Water Block I've got the Apogee GTX. It works pretty well I think. I've got my QX6700 @3.3GHz idle at 32C. At load, I never get higher than 42C, and thats when I'm rendering on 3DS Max or Maya. Never gets above 38C when running games.
