Is this a good idea?

First of i would like to say hi to you all as im new to these forums

Secondly i have a few questions regarding watercooling and they are as follows:

1. I have 2600k i7 watercooled with XSPC EX360 KIT will this kit be powerful enough to also deal with 2 GTX560Ti graphics cards watercooled in the same loop?
(current temps 30 -40c with pump only set to 2)

2. I brought a full plate waterblock from EK for both the graphics cards (GTX560Ti) and im worried about having issues with different metals as listed in many places through out forums accross the web.
- XSPC WATERCOOLING KIT (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=wc-144- xs&groupid=962&catid=1532&subcat=)
- ek full cover waterblock
(http://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-fc560-gtx-v2-acetal-en-nickel.html - one i have is v1 not v2 but same look and metals as this.

2* will the metal in the XSPC block have issues with corrosion etc if mixed in the same loop as the 2 waterblocks?

3. if a second loop is required how powerful does it need to be? as i feel the ex360 is probably overkill for graphics cards

Thanks for your time guys

Hi and welcome

1. Ideally you may want to put another 120mm (minimum) into the loop to deal with the heat load from a 3 component loop.

2. You'll have no problems with corrosion of any kind - especially if you're using decent fluids like Mayhems premix. The blocks you have are Nickel, I would highly advise you use either EK-EKoolant OR Mayhems X1/Pastel for use in your loop.

3. You don't need a second loop, just expand the current loop, as I said earlier, an extra 120 radiator (something chunky if possible like an XSPC RX120) should give you enough headroom.
