I like the one above the most just for it's looks.. I have no idea on performance numbers.

You almost have to get a full cover block to get any perfomance out of the NorthBridge section. Because even if you remove the Stock NB heatsink, There is still a plate of copper there. That's why I did'nt go ahead and get that fancy swiftech water block that was made for the original Rampage Extreme. The WaterBlock is not getting direct contact with the die.
Is it easy to remove the stock cooling even after it has run for a while or is it best done from new ?
I am thinking the heatsink compound will get baked
