New CPU block for the I7?
Upgrading everything finally, and have been absent form WC updates for a couple years.
You can see what I am currently using in my sig.
Suggestions?

I currently own this block:

If I get the I7 hold down plate for it, is there gonna be much performance difference in it and the Apogee GTZ Extreme that you recommended, or is there no I7 conversion for my older style block?

right now there is no plate for it and i doubt there will be for such an old block. i'm not even sure if they still make them anymore.
the GTZ should see a 5-10C+ improvement. i say that strictly as an educated guess.
