I'm about to built my first H2O setup. 2 days ago i bought the first part, a 12" x 9" x 2" heatercore.

Questions:

1) I cant go wrong with a DD maze4, can I?

2) It looks to me that the Dtek P4-adapter will work for any AMD block. Is this correct? I have AMD for now but might gonna change to Intel later.

3) The heatercore is painted black. Would I gain any improvement by removing the paint? If so, wich chemicals should i use to get the job done without damaging the copper and brass.

4) Hydor L30 (56€) or L20 (28€)?
The setup will contain the heatercore, DD maze4, 3m / 10feet 1/2" ID tubing and eventually a GPU-block, maybe a NB-block.
Money is an issue but if the extra for the L30 is worth it, I'll get it. I want to do things right from the start.

Any help will be greatly appreciated

EDIT:I didnt number my questions correctly
