SwiftTech Storm is the best.

SwiftTech Apogee is the one to get because its easier to find available...

cannot go wrong from a danger den maze4

I have a maze 4 and I just went to the new TDX and i can say the TDX does cool a bit better.

with the same pump and radiator on non-overclocks the Maze4 was keeping my 3200+ at around 34-35 idleing and the TDX keeps my X2 down to around 33 idleing. At full load (Encoding divx movies back to back for about 10 hours) my X2 only went above 40 when i forgot to turn my AC back on after a power outage, and without my AC, my room can get upwards of 33 to 35.

Little River Storm G4/G5 and Swiftech Storm [yes]

The Little River Storm G4/G5 are not available anymore so your only alternative is the Swiftech version [thumbup]

What company produces the TDX?

and a offtopic question, What tube size is recommended for best performance? i have been looking on 3/8 hose is it much better then 1/4 ?

i got AMD socket 939 btw

Ive owned a bunch of different cpu waterblocks and i have to say the SwiftTech Storm rev2 is definately the best one ive owned.. Using it now in the same loop as 2 NV78's on my 7900gtx's.. Idle temp is 36C and at full load the highest ive seen is 40C, keep in mind that is with 2 NV78 gpu blocks in the same line.. IMHO its the best block money can buy

Looks like the storm is the one to get. Anyway is there any northbridge/vga block equal in quality/performance as the storm?

I'll point you in the direction of xtremesystems, please READ their STICKIES before posting there. Unfortunately most stuff posted here is personally baised and although it hurts me to say so - especially on the watercooling front - there is a lot of crap advise given here.

Basically the best is the Swiftech Storm Rev 2 but it is a little expensive and very restrictive but for optimal performane should be what your looking for.
