Hi

I am looking to buy my first liquid cooling system. My system spec is as followed:

Intel Q6600 (Overclocked @ 3.6GHz)
Asus P5N-D Mobo
2x BFG 8800gt OC Graphics which go to 112 degrees when playing cod2 :S
i have a thermaltake Armor+ case

I have been looking at the Swiftech H2O-220 Apex Ultima Plus Watercooling Kit. but i have been told this will not cope with the 2 graphics cards.
so i dont know what ot do, i have been told 2 different solutions. the first on is to get a second single rad and have 2 lops. the other is to have 1 loop but a bigger tri rad.
i am not sure which solution to go for and what loop to have, i was thinking: Resivior---pump---cpu---gpu---gpu---rad or Resivior---pump---cpu---single rad end of first lop/Resivior---Pump---gpu---gpu---dual Rad end of second loop
can any one help me in designing my system and sugest any designs or tips on what to do and get.
Thanks

it is pushing it a for a 240mm thin radiator. although radiator placement is key to extracting the best cooling from the most basic of kits. I'd still reccomend looking at a different rad. you dont *have* to buy a kit. you could just get the components seperatly.

loop order does make no difference. order it in whichever way makes the tubing runs the shortest.
it should always start like this though:

Res>Pump

which armor cse i it?
