    Okay guys I need your wisdom to help choose a new CPU water block.

    The Pumps I'm using is the DDC1-Plus so its powerful enough for most. I will be cooling the following and all is 3/8":

    CPU x 1
    GPU x 2
    DD Aqua Drive x 1
    3 X Black Ice GT 120

    I am really considering the following but I'm open to suggestions:

    Swiftech Storm Rev 2
    D-TEK MP-05 SP LE
    Apogee

    Given the number of rad's and blocks I'm a little concerned about the flow rate using the Storm but it probably not an issue.

    Thanks in advance

    I've got a same size loop planned, and I picked the Storm. YMMV.

    Thanks for the info Kayin.

    It's narrowed down then as I will remove the apogee. I might just buy a flow meter and both remaining blocks then do some testing.

    Cheers :thumb:

    I should imagine the Storm is a good block, i have a Storm 4 and its brilliant, cools my CPU well, and despite the loop goes to a 7800GTX, the 78 doesnt go above 35 :D
