If you look at the measurements on most large and well designed heat sinks.. they cool just as well.

I have two Corsair H and they are both over two years now and still running great. A decent heatsink and fan is a great choice like Thermal Frio. Awards

I'm assuming this ain't normal??? Can somebody recommend a quality pump? Stool swiftech...had mine for four years now http://www.swiftech.com/mcp655.aspx,,,,,it will pump 12ft. high,,,1200 litres p/h,you can get the one with adjustable speed which i have.....or the other one without speed adjustment for 10 bucks cheaper....i highly recomend this pump.....all reviews are great...check it out,,,,you have to get a rez and tubing though and maybe a cpu water block...which i have the koolance one http://koolance.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=29_148_44 along with some good thick tubing you should never have to buy any thing ever again Edited November 30, 2013 by JohnnyQuest
