I get it Sir Vortex.

Yup Magic, the D5 pump is ugly as it looks lol. So a new shiny block to it will make something old look new.

Why do you guys buy full-cover blocks? Core-only blocks have better performance, and are cheaper. So do you guys use fc blocks because of convenience?

Because core-only blocks cool just that: the Core, not the power regs. and the memory chips - and you still need a good airflow to cool them. A FC block takes care of all that.
