Eh its okay, better to just get a swifty block, 2x mcp600's, a bip3 or two bip2's, and such.

OC'ing is a hit and run, i dun know if youd get 3 ghz.

Dont' go with the Maze4 for TEC. Swiftech 5002 is much better if you can find it. I've read about people having almost the exact same setup save the swiftech/Danger Den block, and the guy with the Danger Den block had troubles.

I prefer the swiftech TEC blocks over the dangerden ones.
Internal design is better IMO and insulation is much better on the swiftech blocks.

You can also buy that 400+watt monster tec which looks like it has a god block, I forget the manufacuter. Ive yet to see anybody using one succesfully though (anybody got a link)

I think that swiftech kit looks pretty good. I think I might want morecapacity in rads to reduce noise, and maybe a bit more pump power. But I think the stock kit would be pretty effective, and if you have water temp problems you can allways add a third rad.

The Swiftech block is aluminum :(
