Yeah... it's there...

For clamping pressure, I'm going to refer you to this article, and let you decide what's best

If your water temp is in the 35 to 40C range, it's too hot, WAY too hot. With two pelts in your rig, you should be able to get your CPU to 0 deg C, easily.

I'll re-phrase my comment on the BIX: it's not good enough to keep the coolant near ambient (in your rig).

A heatercore has the advantage of being bigger (more surface area) than a BIX, so it's easier for it to handle a lot of heat, but more importantly to get the coolant as close to your ambient temperature as is possible.

A BIX will conveniently fit in your case. period. We all know the BIX, we've been following the whole line since they appeared here and here.
