Hello,

So right now I've got an overclocked E6400 (3.4GHz) on a Swiftech Apogee waterblock with idle temps of about 45c, load is about 55c. My question is, is it worth upgrading to a D-Tek Fuzion? Would I need to change the mounting equipment thats already on here? If I don't then I'll I'd have to do is drain my system by taking out the CPU waterblock, the tubing will slip off pretty easily even though it's I'm using that masterkleer stuff (fits really snug) and replacing it with the new waterblock and refilling my system.

Any suggestions would be appreciated, right now I've got $50 to spend on any upgrade (although not sure if I'm even going to get anything) I know the Fuzion is 60 but I'm willing to spend the extra cash.

I've got:

Swiftech MCP655 pump

Swiftech MCR-220 radiator

Swiftech MCRES-Micro reservoir

Swiftech Apogee GT waterblock

Koolance 8800GTS full cover waterblock
 
you have a apogee GT, its not worth it to go to a Fuzion. i would just add the larger o-ring and bow the base.

At first I thought that was just a spare o-ring until I found out later it was larger to bow the base. :p I wish I had known beforehand so I could have used it =|. Thanks for the advice!
