Why are you watercooling a 45nm CPU? IMO, it's not necessary.

In past years watercooling was needed to cool CPUs at high volts. With newer processors you'll kill your chip at much lower voltages. Before your CPU gets hot enough to really require WC, you've already killed your chip.

The E6550 has 65nm architecture.
I'm not really in a position to give advice on water cooling though.

Since you have an antec 900, do you really need water cooling?
What temps are you getting?

Oops! My mistake... :o
 
i have my 900 with water cooling and let me just say-!

there is not much chance fitting the dual rad inside unless you do some modding!

you can mount a dual rad out the back and feed the tube through the gromits to your pump etc....

if you want to water cool build your own using "1/2 tube and something like this---\/

With an Antec 900 and a good air cooler there is no need for liquid cooling....unless you are trying to set some sort of overclocking record? Here is a great place to review CPU coolers.

Just trying to save you a few bucks.....if you spend about $40 on a great air cooler.....spending money on a liquid system will be throwing money away. This is just my advice for ya :) Here are a few of the highest rated coolers.
