Right I need to decide on a 2x120 radiator for my mod Its a toss up between a swiftech Mcr 220 or a xpcs RS240
Im only cooling my cpu and possibly chipset so that should be ok radiator wise for the cpu waterclock I was thinking a swiftech appogee GTX with the copper top or an xpcs delta v2.
However I would love this http://www.thecoolingshop.com/product_info.php/cPath/33_54/products_id/2887
How hard would it be to mount it on a 939 motherboard
Thanks.

wouldnt recomend that block, was just reading some reviews about it and most of them say that the housing cracked within the first two weeks of installation.

easy choice, for the rad the Swiftech MCR220. for the cpu block you can either go with looks at get the Swiftech Apogee GTX copper top or for 1-2C better temps the Dtek Fuzion or Dtek Fuzion V2.

The Apogee GTX is a great block, performs right up there with the D-Tek Fuzion, before the revision. The only thing is the top half of the block is aluminium so over time you will suffer from galvanic corrosion. You can get a copper replacement top that (from what I have heard) can drop your system temps by in some cases 1*c.

they smartened up and put the copper block on top for you for an extra $10 instead of 30.

Well worth the money then. I should see if I can fine a copper top over here in Australia for my Apogee GTX.
