Im sure the Nexxxos would work very well as the way its retained with the screw applying direct pressure to the middle of the block would ensure a nice contact on the core of the CPU - you'd have to be very careful not to put too much and crush it though
yeah, I've found my dual core opty to be way more temperature sensitive than my old single core, this dual runs higher temps to. ppl find duals run faster with the ihs removed even with watercooling
looks like your using a DD HDPE bay reservoir and dual 120mm rad.
Can see the pump loop runs into the floppy bay, are you using one of those alphacool DDC 3.5" bay pumps to?
looks like a nice setup! me wants!
Cheers
