The Tech Report have an interesting review of the Cooler Master Nepton 240M liquid cooler - which may be of interest to overclockers:

At first glance, it's easy to dismiss CLCs as a "seen one, seen 'em all" deal, but that would be a mistake. While the general principles remain the same from one to the next—an integrated pump and water block unit circulates coolant through a sealed radiator loop—there's still plenty of room for manufacturers to put their own spins on the concept.
Let's start with a look at the pump and water block on the Nepton. According to Cooler Master, the water block in the Nepton series features "ultra-fine micro channel" technology, which makes for an internal surface area that's four times larger than water blocks from "the competition." While I can't tear into the Nepton 240M to verify this claim, more surface area in the water block should make for better heat dissipation, so long as the ultra-fine fins don't impede coolant flow.
