If you have the skills to make a waterblock, why bother with a Black Ice? Get a heatercore and put the barbs on yourself. They are close to half the price and have more dissapating power. I use an 89 camaro heatercore, thats 7X7, with a push/pull 172mm fan combo on shrouds. It was $20. I can easily get the coolant within 2 degree C of ambient without even putting 12V on the fans. 1 degree on 12v. Just to be clear, my GPU block isnt istalled yet and there are no pelts, its only cooling a stock speed 2400xp.
