Look for one that has copper tubing and tanks if you have a copper WB. There is a product called "copper bond" at Lowes or Home Depot that allows you to glue barbs and pipes together instead of soldering if you arent into that. Thats what I used, its leaktight and rock solid.

Again... those "specialized" Rads and Cores are a COMPLETE rip off. Anyone that pushes these "pretty-boy" water cooling solutions is straight up FANBOY. You do NOT need any of that nonsense to cool "well." Nevermind, I'm not starting this already rerun rant..
