Advice on High flow CPU blocks

So over a year ago I built a custom water cooling rig (http://forum.overclock3d.net/showthread.php?p=625796#post625796)

However I now think my CPU block is blocked as it is really restricting flow.

Its an XSPC RASA. I could dismantle it and clean it or I could find one with a much higher flow rate.

So, my pump pumps at 700lph (not a typo), so I would like to treat myself to a new CPU block and get one that has the highest possible flow rate.

Any ideas?

Ok so I cant find any reviews on the Coollaboratory Alpheos. Is it any good?
Other options im looking at are the EK Supremecy and the Swiftech Apogee Xl

Any thoughts?

maybe the new Apogee XL?

Thanks

Im not an expert regarding this...but in my old rig i had a koolance CPU-380I Water Block http://koolance.com/cpu-380i-processor-water-block this was cooling an i7 990x....used the motherboard easy tune and overcloked to around 4.5 ...my temps never was more the 45-47 C.
 
I have a 1,500 ltr/hr pump and it works well paired with my (now fairly old) EK Supreme HF CPU block. In fact, the CPU block flows so well that my GPU's in SERIES restrict the overall flow somewhat, going to parallel flow on the GPU's sorts this.

I think, if you've been happy with a blocks performance in the past, pull it apart and clean it. If there IS any gunk blocking it up, it's time to check your entire loop anyway. Adding a new CPU block might see it exhibiting problems too if said gunk is elsewhere in your loop anyway.

Scoob.
