Best Water block for a PII 940?

Nick89 · May 1, 2009, 10:43 PM

Well I'm starting to rebuild my water cooling system and I've decided to just start from scratch.

Whats the best water block for a Phenom II 940? I want to get to 4ghz.

Also whats a good powerfull pump? I've been out of the loop for a long while now.

Pump I was thinking of:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835108082

The MCP655 is a very powerful and nice pump and it will provide you with all your looking for; but, if you want something else, have a look at the MCP355 and the XSPC tops that go on it, great pressure/flow and it looks damn nice too, I have one.

Here is my own block:

Its a Koolance CPU-345 and will fit pretty much anything out there, from AMD stuff to S775...originally cooling a PII it will now cool a E8400.

You can also strip the block for cleaning very easily and without voiding any warranty....it comes in acetal and acrylic so the choices are vast.
