Storm CPU block and other help

[almightydutch]

As the ever looming rebuild is nearly ready i'm stuck on what CPU block to get. My current Swiftech Storm is still peeforming perfectly albeit on a aging E7400 @3.9ghz but its rock solid at 42 degrees constant no matter what I throw at it.

This brings me to wondering if there is a baseplate for the Swiftech Storm block for the 1155 CPU Skt? I dont think so but some more knowledgable on here may know if there is a way.

Failing that i'm looking at the HK Extreme LT i presume?

Only the CPU in the loop at the mo and I have a Vario D5, 240mm rad and I have run an old 8800GTX with watercooling the GPU with no increase in heat, but i do plan on getting a GTX570 or above and adding a block to that....would I need to go bigger on the rad or is it wait and see?

I think OcUK sell a universal mounting kit - might be worth a try

i'd get the HF

I would get a bigger rad unless it's a very good rad and you don't intend to do much Oc'ing. Let someone else confirm this though

Thanks for the Cleecoooo. I'll have another look on OCUK for the mounting kit. And yes i did mean the high flow block not the low temp one.....cheers
