NexXxos XP CPU block, quad core?

Any good?

Coz i noticed that this scan 3XS system uses it on the core 2 quad extreme.

So i would have thought it would be fine? But i was just making sure with you guys.

I have the nexxxos xp bold 775, and its great. It worked well in both standard watercooled systems and chilled liquid system. For example at the minute my e6850 overclocked to 3.8ghz at 1.5( i think) volts is sitting at 31 degrees and no chiller in the system. Basically its a good block, oh and I haven't done any lapping and despite half a dozen cpu changes the block is good as ever. - ambient is around 22 degrees but i cant tel you water temps sorry

Yeh i already have the block sorry i should have made that clear.. im really happy with it.. but i was just wondering whether it would cope well with a core 2 quad?

I would say yes, if you look this power calculator thingy,

it'll tell you the expected power output you will need to be able to remove at stock or overclocked settings. Its not a definite yes or no but its a good guestimate. It tells me that my chip is putting out 137w and apparently at stock the qx6850 is about the same and at 30 degrees I would say you would have a fair bit of leeway.
