I'm having some load temperature problems with my Cedar Mill and i'm looking for the best water block for this cpu. I'm currently using a Swiftech Apogee which is a pretty good water block but my load temps are going about 20°c higher than my idle temps. My current setup is as follows; 651 Cedar Mill @4.4GHz/1.3125v, ambient temperature is about 23°c Idle=26°c load=46°c. I'm not too happy with the temperature spread on this chip and i think it might be the water block. Here's a little background from my post in the Intel Cpu section. http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=466201
This is the Apogee i'm using now-http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/swapexpebl.html
These are the two blocks i am considering replacing it with- Swiftech STORM Rev 2 Universal High Performance block-http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/swstunhipebl.html
Or the Silver TDX Block- http://www.dangerdenstore.com/product.php?productid=186&cat=61&page=1
Would either of these make much of a difference? I would appreciate your opinions or suggestions. Thanks
