I probably shouldn't be teh one to say, because im newbish, but if you want to upgrade your system to cool other things later, like a gfx card, 2nd cpu, NB, etc. i'd think the 1250 would be a better idea. And if you are going to be just cpu for a while, a higher flow block might be better. I thought the spiral was, but what about a low flow block with a higher pump to push water through faster? I dont really know. It'd be nice to have a thread that lays out some block type/flow relationships for newbies. Most other people on here have already discussed it, and now take the info a little for granted.

My poor, crappy opinion, would be to get a swiftech MCW-462-UH and a 1250 if you plan to get a graphics card cooler eventually like me, or a 1048 if not, because supposedly it performs good at low flow rates? I like the mounting system on it too. Installing the standoffs once, then not having to remove the mobo any more is nice. I chose it almost for that alone, since the innovatek is like 75 bucks.
