I'm running the Apogee GTZ with a Feser TFC 360 Rad, and a D5 Vario pump.. that is one of the better setup's unless you want a better pump, or a better cpu clock like the Heat Killer 3.0, but for Solid performace and decent price, the GTZ and the D5 and a Feser rad are a solid bet. you could go cheaper with a TC PA120.2 or 120.3 radiator, but i really like the feser, or get a XSPC RX Rad as well. good luck.

Also, will some of you Q9650 owners post your Batch #'s and VID's. as I'm about to get another one and I'm trying to choose a good one by batch number. I'm wondering if the older (First released chips) will be better, just like the first Q6600's are better than the latest ones that have high VID's. as I was offered a L844B Q9650 for a GREAT price, but it's a recent batch number, I guess there's no way to guess the VID tho.

I also got offered a L845B, you guys know of some best chance batch numbers?
