Best C2D waterblock? are there any specifically designed for dual core?
 
It also depends upon the overall cooling design and what you want. A little more info about your system, wants, needs and desires would be helpful.
 
cpu block is first in loop with chipset block and ek 8800gtx block. want maximum cooling from cpu block. tdx is ok but temps ramp up too much and i am looking for something better liang D4 pump as well. 120.3 rad with push pull fans

CPU in is in first loop with the NB and 8800? What is in the second loop?
 
1-cpu 2-chipset 3- gpu

d4 pump pulling from the output of the radiator which is runing 6 evercool fans push pull at 12v. idle 40 and load in tat at 55 speedfan has coupling at 60 load at 3.5 ghz at 1.368v kinda hot to me with a triple radiatior

thought maybe the block was not made for dual core chipset runs at about 38 constant and the gpu is at 42 all the time. cpu ramps up real fast on 100% load in tat to 55 and speedfan has coupling at 60. still seems hot for water to me. jsut upgraded radiator too. don't seem to help.
 
appears to be running to hot indeed. maybe your mixture is off? too much antifreeze can slow flow causing heating problems.

Need to eleborate on how your setup is.
 
water mix is 10/1 or less. flow is good just don't get why I cannot get anything on temps. is it the block? really not any hot air coming out of my rad either. cold air. should i try straight water. been using anti freeze 10/1
 
ambient temp plays a big part in watercooled temps so if your in a warm room, your temps will reflect that.

D-Tek Fuzion or Apogee GT, either one will be better than your TDX. i'm replacing my TDX with the GT.

for pumps either a Laing D5 or DDC w/Petra's top.
