Got a Core i7 processor and is thinking of overclocking it, perhaps a bit more than the average person? Than you might want to look at the following article. Madshrimps has taken it upon themselves to test Core i7 940 with water cooling and has gathered seven water cooling blocks.

Water blocks from EK, Enzotech, Koolance, OCZ, XSPC and Swiftech are thoroughly tested to see which is the best for you.
