Thermaltake waterblock cracked, replacement?

I've had this water kit for a while and the cpu block cracked, whats the best replacement to go with the rest of the kit? I'm also soon upgrading my cpu from a LGA775 socket to an AM3, so I need one that is compatible.

Thermaltake BigWater 735 Liquid Cooling System - CL-W0075 at Xoxide!

I would upgrade back to Air cooling, liquid cooling is not reliable and can be dangerous for the rest of your hardware.
I have tested many different brands and models of liquid coolers and in the end they all leak, crack or fail.
Air cooling is the way to go.

I agree with Khalil about air cooling but if you are determined to stay with water cooling then replace your water block with a high quality brand like Dangerden or Koolance. You will pay more but it won't be junk.
