Can't really go wrong with an EK Full Cover block ala:

Could go for just core block and buy some ram sinks..

Or add this to it:

For ease of use and least hassle the full covers would do you well.

Sweet, cheers man. I was looking at the ones on WCUK. Good price too considering the size of the things. I might go for a double loop setup soon and iv got someone offering me an Accelero cooler for the GTX.

Cheers for the help bud

See you in the overclocking realms when i get everything sorted.

I am very pleased with the EK block, fits easily and temperatures plummeted

Well i might as well. The price aint much and the advantages are much better.

Im not sure as to whether I would rather wait and go for a second loop or maybe just cool both CPU and GPU on the same loop.

Ill think about it through the day. Think it would really matter having it on one loop?

What wc hardware you got? If you have a decent 360 rad then I would say it would cope. Its what i'll end up doing when I get a new gfx card when they come out. Just having new CPU and GFX both being served by my PA120.3.

I think when you start adding more in like ya NB, Mosfets and SB you need to start thinking about 2nd loop.
