At the volts I'm having to use, I would guess my wattage is higher tahn on a C2D. The temps are load temps since idle temps are completely pointless to relate.

I thought that they would probably be load temps but it was worth checking anyway. If I can get +15c over ambient I will be quite happy.

Watercooling is always good anyway m8,setup runs better and not as much noise.

Going to order the swiftech kit this afternoon but having second thoughts about the chipset block. I am currently cooling my NB with a HR-05 which has a akasa 80mm fan strapped to it. My NB volts are at 1.7 (P5N-E SLI) and I have had no issues with it what so ever. Is the chipset block worth it or can I save another £17.

Very few people bother with water-cooling their chipsets. Any after-market northbridge heatsink will be more than enough unless you're doing insane clocking (LN2 etc.)
