That particular block is very restrictive. Not to mention so is your CPU block (though it's a good one, don't get me wrong). With your pump choice, though, I doubt it would have too much of an adverse effect on performance. What fans are you running on your rad?

Those are Vantec stealth fans in push-pull configuration. I have a Danger Den Acetal MAZE4 GPU block Im gonna use when I get the second vid card for SLI mode. I know the NV-68 is kinda overkill. I got it before I learned how little cooling the DDR 3 needed. The block does not really seem too restictive. The pump seems to have power to spare. I wanted to eliminate all the fans so the PC would be very quiet. Gonna replace my Fortron PS with a PC Power & Cooling 510 SLI this week. Im gonna keep the reservoir but use the fillport to fill it from the top of the case. The silicone is a great idea. Thanks
