@ blueline - MCP655 performs better but has higher heatdump than MCP600. Depends on your rad as to which is better for you. For 13.8v - independant PSU that can provide 13.8v instead of 12v - that's how.

@tigger - If temps are good enough for you, pump is good enough for you. Looks fine to me. Yes, could be better... but it can always be better. Bigger rad, more powerful fans on rad, bigger pump, different CPU Block with lower c/w rating (storm, mp-05-sp)... whether it's good enough is down to whether you consider your current temps to be good enough, and how much cash you're willing to dump into it to make it better, and how much noise you wanna put up with. More airflow always = better performance than less airflow, but results in more nosie.

ie: YOU create the definition of what is good enough for YOU.
