Hydro Series H50 to replace a zalman 9700

[Peepin Tom]

I was looking at corsair the other day and saw this new waterblock, or isolated water cooling device for the CPU only and it looks pretty nice.

I looked throughout google and saw nothing. So maybe I can get some feedback from you guys.

I currently have my 920 overclocked to 3.0GHz and I get around 30-40c on the CPU, but each core is around 45c-60c when on load and what not. I have my fan set to 60% through the BIOS, Even though its not very loud, I would like to try this waterblock

Do you guys think I will get some better temperatures?

Well compare your temps now to what 3dGameMan got...

Supposedly it's pretty damn good, but that's marketing for you. I've seen it branded as different companies before, such as http://hardwarebistro.com/index.php?option=com_simple_review&Itemid=84&review=46-NorthQ-Siberian-Tiger-Water-Cooling-Kit-Review

Are those temps the actual CPU or the separate cores?

Does it even matter?

I would think so, because my cores are a 15c diff from the cpu itself.

even though i'm a fan of companies creating pre-arranged CPU watercooling, most of them don't perform very well compared to indivdually selected parts (CPU block, pump, radiator etc)
