Tested under some of the most harsh circumstance, the Arqtik 180SDD cooler has proven itself and is capable against an overclocked Intel i5 2500k at 4.6GHz with 100% load.

Designed as a drop in replacement for a standard watercooling block, all your current gear intended to cool your CPU is not obsolete. So long as you have a Dual 120mm Radiator in Push/Pull configuration or higher, you are able to cool this block sufficiently.
You may be asking yourself, "Why would I want something like this?". If you have to ask that, then you probably don't know the fact, heat kills electronic components. If you're into overclocking, sometimes your processor is shooting in to the danger zone for "wear and tear" otherwise known as electrical degradation. This happens because of the Direct Current that flows through the processor in only one direction, unlike Alternating Current which flows back and forth. Because of the copper in the processor having resistances, the copper atoms are dragged from one end of the flow to the other. At any imperfections or changes in the flow, the copper will build up. The build up isn't the problem; it's the removal of copper from the beginnings of the flow. Connections are no longer good enough to maintain a flow of current and your system, at that point has become unstable giving you the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD). By keeping temperature colder, you reduce resistance and in essences prolong the life of your device.
With the balance of your systems stability at a high overclock, or even a brutal environment; even the architecture is coming into play with 22nm, the Single Direct Die pulls it's weight and helps you keep your system running strong and cooler.
