Hi, as the title says, I'm wondering whats the difference between an expensive and a cheap cpu block. I'd rather save £50 for the expense of a couple of degrees but just wondering would there be any other major differences?
Thanks

Just check out reviews of the two blocks you're looking at (this might be hard if different sites use different radiators), and see if the temperature difference is worth the cost.

Many aspects.

Size of the heatsink/fan
Quality
Fan RPM
Effectiveness.
Liquid (which tends to be more expensive) and air (which is the common method of cooling a CPU)

I mean just the block. Im buying everything individually so everything is good quality, i.e the rad, pumps and fans. Just wondering whether or not to fork out for the cpu block.
Forgot to mention, it's an open loop.
