I just bought:
- X2O Delta V3 Acetal CPU Waterblock
- X2O 400 12V Pump/Reservoir
- RS120 Radiator
- Clear 10/8mm Tubing

question is - should I go for XSPC 240 rad this single one will be ok for cooling my E8600@4 GHz 1.264v
If I'll go for 240 one can I add EK GTX 260 280 SLI Acetal WaterBlock with RAM Backplate block for my GTx card , or this pump and rad are to week for this?
 
Pump is too weak for a cpu and gpu. With a 120 you'll have no headroom for any other components; even with a 240 it needs to be a good one. PA or TFC Xchanger, if it must be the XSPC range get the RS360.
 
thanks for reply.
I bought this for 40 quid (second hand, 3 months old) so I can't complain.
I can spend 200 quid for good WC but first I'd like to try it is good for me or not.If this will be much noise than my AC I don't want this.
Ok tell me please - can I stick with 120 rad to cool my CPu only?Now with my Noctua NHU12p and CPu @4GHz my temps are quite low 25 idle and 45 load.

But DCC350 is 10W with 400 LPH as well and people using this pump to WC CPUs and GPUs.
I went for Swiftech 240 rad and I have 120 XSPC - so maybe it can manage to cool GPU nad CPU?

Pretty much the only figure that matters is the head, and the DDC will give way more pressure than the XSPC pump.
 
I used an XSPC 400L/hr pump with an XSPC 120.2 rad to cool my Q6600 and chipset and it worked a treat.

Not sure if it'd be upto cooling GPU as well though.
