Couple of other things I noticed in there...

The Southbridge chip set was a different matter - it didn't have a heat sink. I'm not sure if it even needs to be cooled, but I put a water block on it anyway.
Adding a water block to something that didn't even need a heat sink according to the manufacturer's calculations - is he trying to get the most expensive system he can? :shrug:

I'd like to try Prometia cooler unit, but hooked up to the reservoir, not the processor. Chill the fluid running through the whole system down to say, thirty-nine degrees, maybe?
Hmmm... cooler unit designed to chill down a small area to below freezing - he only uses it to cool the res before moving on to the CPU. Not only is this as thermodynamically inefficient as he can reasonably get it, but it'll probably turn a large part of his res into a solid block of ice


The fun bit is actually trying to spot correct statements in that post.... The truest one I found was this one
