Yeah, I think a NB block is better than the passive sink too. I emailed Zalman, asking if it would be OK with zero airflow, but no responce yet. I do plan on OCing a tad, I wouldn't mind hitting 1.4 or 1.5, so that would mean some additional heat.

Any thoughts on this NB block? 3/8", I know, but it looks relativily unrestrictive, and it's cheap

I think I'll get the TC-4 either way (in 3/8 or 1/2-its the best non-$102-from-AU-w/ship-block). Still cant decide what to do about the NB & GF4. If I go 3/8, then it's either innovative ($87 shipped for the both of them), or the becooling jacket ($25 shipped) + the MCW50 ($45 shipped). If I go 1/2, I think I'll get the other NB jacket from becooling for $28, but are there any other places that sell 1/2" GF4 blocks?

Thanks again!!!!!!

If you run the NB (and GPU?) in a parallel circuit, it doesn't matter if they are 3/8". Actually, it's probably better so as to keep the majority of flow passing through the CPU side.
