blocks and pumps

alright, this is for my second rig. i decide to go with watercooling setup agian. now i have a 86 chevy s 10 copper heater core fits 2 120mm fans and 1/2 id, and clamps. alright i'm thinking of going with a dtek whitewater alu top block. i also have a 9700 pro and i do alot of gaming too, i said y not. what block u recommend for my vid. If u have a better block for the cpu, your input is greatly appreciated. The pump i'm having doubt on which to get but i keep seeing housing leaks. i was going to go with a danner mag 3. oh yea this is a amd rig 2500 unlocked barton with a Abit NF7-S 2.0. Willing to spend $150 thanks

i got the maze4 GPU and it pwnz i think its the **** lol i can overclock my GFX again

WW is a good block... Best bang for the buck...

Swifty MCW50 for vid card is a good block and also MAze 4

what about the pump u think the danner mag 3 will do, but i heard the housing leaks. it fine or another pump? and also isn't the Swifty MCW50 1/2 OD tubing or not ?

Mag 3 is good. I recommend it. If you are using brass fittings just becareful not to screw it in too tight otherwise the barb will crack.... Even with plastic fittings don't over-tighten it. You can seal the pump housing with a silicon sealant. I left my O-ring there altho Jfettig's site says that the O-ring should not be stretched so much... So far no pump housing leaks.

I would go for the swiftec water block for the video card. I never liked the idea of plastic for a top on a water block like the maze4.

The Maze4 GPU block does not have a plastic top.
