What are good waterblocks for CPU, GPU, and NB for like -50C?

Because i was going to build a waterchiller.

The important thing to remeber here is you want a block that is all metal and has a really low restriction. You wont low restriction because that mixture you are going to be pumping at -50 isnt going to be very viscous. A maze4 with a copper top is perfect for that. Also the maze4 GPU block is a good choice since it has the same flow rate as the swiftech but all metal construction. Also the Maze4 chipset block wins yet again due to its lower restriction and all metal construction.

Do you think the Swiftech NB cooler would stand the low temps?

i think you mean -5C right? neg50 is not really possible with a conventional built block due to viscosity

It would still flow fine through a swiftech MCW500 or a maze4 or something.

Slower, yes. It'd still be fien though.

Get a metal top though.

Isnt swiftech all metal and yes -50C is achieveable but i am talking about -50C which is the water not the load and im looking if possible around -25C load

Yea, I meant a maze4 should be all metal, and not the clear ply top.
