    Prefab kits:eek:

    here's my homemade water block(minus the final sealing). it worked well. kept my oc'd temps to 35ish on a quiet low rpm 120mm fan. as u can see the input sealed directly on top of the fins which restricted the flow to give it some jet impingement characteristics.. what i really needed to do...

    a solid 1c at idle and 3c at prime 95 load. i'm down to 49C on prime95..which makes me very happy. the system is rock solid at this temp. IMO a big benefit of the shroud is the reduced whirring sound of the fan. system basics: mobile [email protected] 1.775vcore, 200x13, nf7s v2.0, ati x800...
