I bought a becooling, aka aquastealth, water block and was disappointed. The block wasn't properly sealed and after about 3 weeks, started to leak. Their cpu clip is a pain to use - the screws, hooks and bar are all independent of each other which makes getting everything in the right place somewhat tricky.

Danger Den allegedly pressure tests his blocks but I'm not too sure that solder sealing a water block is reliable. I know for sure it isn't reliable if it isn't tested but even then, you're never sure how the solder will handle the stress induced by hundreds of heating/cooling cycles. Maybe you'll have better luck than I did.
