    Apogee or Storm for Naked Opteron

    Got a good stepping operteron that I plan on De-liddig. Also have a choice of Storm or Apogee block. Which do you think or recommend for the best performance ? Either block will be used with Swiftech or BIP rad mcp655 pump and micro res. Hoping to lower temps enuff to overclock chip a lil further currently at 2800 but hitting 53-55 C using 1.5v

    Storm by a long shot....if the IHS were staying on, it'd be a lot closer (still in favor of the Storm though).

    Just to get +1 postcount.

    Storm every time!!

    And you DONT need a monster pump for the storm.
    It will beat the apogee at ANY flowrate.

    Storm it is then. Seems to be the universal answer.
