The problem with waiting is that there will ALWAYS be something better "Coming Soon" or "Recently announced." I picked up a 7950 soon after they came out, but was warned off by multiple people that what I SHOULD'VE done was wait until...

Hey guys, Short story: I've got an EK waterblock for a Gigabyte Windforce 7950 that I removed from my last 7950 when I sent it in for RMA. I tore all the thermal pads in removing it, and am looking for more. I don't know what to get...

Honestly? No need to spend $50 unless you want to. CM Hyper 212+ does a fantastic job. If you're willing to spend $50, get one of those and two fans optimized for HS/Rad application. I'd recommend a couple Noctua NFF12's to go with...

Don't offer up the fact that you've swapped coolers and it'll probably be fine.
