SPCR seems to have loads of good info. Much appreciated, though I think I need a strong coffee (with some scotch or rum in it for good measure) to work through the info as it seems somewhat long winded. It must have taken ages for them to put together that table in the page JamesAvery22 linked to.

Two reasons I was planning to WC the NB as well are:
1: to get rid of that little whiney fan (which tends to stop running of its own accord half the time?!).
2: if the 9600 pro doesn't need too much cooling then I can run a NB block and a GPU block in parallel from the outputs of the WW. If resistances of the blocks work like electricity (as people say) and the resistance of the NB block and the GPU block are equal (D-Tek say their internals are identical) then the additional resistance in the loop will be half that of having just the GPU block on its own in series after the CPU.
Please let me know someone if my logic is flawed

At first glance it looks like I'll be heading in the direction of Papst fans if they are better at generating backpressure. Then again...
Think I could spend just as many days trying to choose fans or blowers as I did when trying to work out which blocks, pumps and rads I wanted, though its nowhere near as interesting.

I'll just have to pick one I like the look of!

Thanks for your help and input.
ps Think I must be showing my age to remember Manuel and his Hammester!
