Not too sure what metals I have in my loop so I'd rather play it safe than sorry. The cooling performance of the current setup really isn't that bad, I was able to OC my E8400 to 4.5gz with idle temps of 34, 57 under stress. I'm using a NVIDIA chipset however so at those clocks the NB fan makes an unholy amount of noise. I run with the system with a very moderate overclock most of the time for that reason. A NB block is one of my priorities right now.

But only after I manage to track down all the materials I need. Copper plumbing supplies I can find in great quantities and varieties but finding solid, workable copper.... that's another story. I found a place that might have it but they operate the same hours i work...
