heya guys just a quick question i ordered the v12 watercooling kit and i upgraded to the black ice GTX 420 rad... is this going to be enough to handle cpu/gpu and ram loop or should i buy a smaller rad to add to the loop?

Should be ok. What cpu/gpu?

Ed: Never mind, saw your build log

Should be fine, though another rad wouldn't hurt

hehe thanks mate i may go for another one anyway ... im tempted to go for 2 gtx 780's so i may aswell be greedy with the rads aswell

If it interests you I have a 360 black ice rad cooling a Intel Core i7 2600K @ 3.40GHz and 2 x 1536MB GeForce GTX 580 (EVGA) in SLI. The max ive seen the temps rise to is 50 when gaming (lately Total War: Rome 2 on max graphics).

I will be adding another rad but it -could- technically stay as it is if I really wanted it to. I just have to work out where to put my 160 and ill be cooler again...
