Hey all.
I am about to start my first watercooled build and I could use some advice.
I will be using:
Corsair 800D case
AMD Phenom II X4 Quad Core 965 Black Edition "125W Edition" 3.40GHz
ASUS Crosshair Formula IV socket AM3 Motherboard
OcUK Nvidia 480GTX
I am intending a dual loop system.
So, Should I be thinking about something like the EK the dual loop reservoir with two pumps, two reservoirs, and also in terms of radiators would 2x 120 rads be enough to cool that kit enough for a decent overclock?
Any advice welcome!
My objective here is lowest possible temp and highest possible overclock. Noise is not an issue as I use decent bose noise cancelling headphones (QC15's). I can strongly reccomend them!
Cheers.

Update - Go check out Jinxpad's thread "Planning WC layout - Help meh!" - I have decamped over there as theres no point running two threads for two virually identical builds running at the same time!
