I'm going to buy water block for s775. Will OC E5200 to the limits. What block should I buy? Dont want to spend more than £40, so GTZ or fuzion is out of question.

OCZ is the cheapest, what do you guys think about it? Did anyone use it?
EK reviews shows its great in cooling only very restrictive. Using DDC 10W pump, would that be too much restrictive?

or maybe Aqua Cuplex HD??


Please help me to choose...

Not at all, just noticed that that was a taxed price..
I know that Fusion is great block but I asked for cheaper one cause need to buy a pump too, so trying to spend as less as I can..
 
I have OCZ Hydroflow in my rig, its cooling down E6850@3,8GHz 1,4v to 20idle and 54 under load with XSPC 750lph pump.
 
Got a Supreme here....best looking block on the market IMO, and slightly easier to fit than the Fuzion.

What about that restrictions of that block, is it sth that I should be worried about? I would use this block in loop with Aquagrafx G200 GTX280 water block and DDC 10W pump, 2 rads - swiftech 220 and XSPC 120mm... Should that block be a bit too much for this pump in this kind of loop?
 
triple xspc radiator, its cooling NB and CPU atm, im waiting for GTX285 waterblock wich should arrive tommorow :D :D :D
 
that 54 is core temp cpu temp is showing 45

Not bad, I say..
I'm looking for used or new one on MM..
Will see what people come back to me with..
Now found D-tek fuzion v1 for sale.. not sure if that woul be good idea...
 
I just picked up a Fuzion V1 off the bay for about £20 quid with postage but I'm not sure if I should have got a GTZ or fuzion V2 instead hmm...:(
 
I would'nt bother. Water cooling makes no difference with the E5200 in my experience. I have high end custom water cooling with a window mounted triple radiator and i got the same results as i do under a Freezer 7 pro with the fan running at 900rpm. I also have the same results in my cheap and cheerful (£28) Gigabyte DS3R as i did in my X38 Asus P5E. The E5200 is not a hot running chip and watercooling will not get you any extra clocking headroom.
 
i had the ocz and the ek supreme - can honestly say there isnt much in it

i have my ek supreme on my i7 now

but when running my q9450 at 3.8ghz both blocks performed exactly the same

the ek is only worth the premium as it is i7 compatible [if you plan to upgrade in the future?]
