hello everybody ,

currently i have

black ice GT xtreme lite 360 rad,
3 kaze jyuni 1900rpm fans hooked upto a fan controller
a D5 pump , cooling my 3570k.

just about to order a waterblock for my 7950,
would the above be suitable to keep it all cool ? cpu & gpu
its only temporary solution (maybe month or two) till i can add another 240 rad into the loop.

It will be fine, I ran a 2500k and 680 on one 240 for a few weeks, temps were fine.

As above, you will be fine but you'd be just as well to wait until you have the other rad to save the hassle of draining and rebuilding.

Will be perfectly fine, adding the 240 to that would only be an optional extra not a requirement. A GTX lite 360 will easily cool an i5 plus a HD7950 and have room for over-clocking.

2500k and 2 x 7970's here on a single 360 with 6 fans in push and pull.

Older Nehalem i7 @4Ghz and 7970 @ 1200/ 1600 on a single thin 360 rad and temps are fine.

I am considering changing it to a thicker rad and am adding another thin 240 rad as going to crossfire my 7970's and want to run fans at as low a speed as possible.

You will be fine on a 360 and adding a 240 with those components would be overkill imo, but I suppose the saying is you can never have enough rad.
