S478/S462 waterblocks on S370, has anyone tried this? I'm looking to go watercooled, but nowhere uk based seems to sell S370 waterblocks anymore (I want a DD or Swiftec block). So what I was thinkings was get a S478/S462 (proberly the swiftech model) and use a universal hold down to hold it to the S370 tabs. Has this been done or are the physical dimensions all wrong??

The heatsinks are way too large to fit the tabs, and I think there'd be mounting issues even if you made a homemade adapter. Just find a Swiftie MCXC370, they should be cheaper and do the job relatively the same as the big boys

Problem is that Frys is US based and I'm England based, since I order a block from DD a few months back that never turned up I'm a bit sceptical of ordering from the states (note that no slur is intended at DD I'm sure the order got lost in the post). I have now found 2 S370 waterblocks that are on sale in the England the Overclcokers hideout Z2 or the Maxxxpert MXL-Miro1 Water Block. Either of these any good?
