Using a 120.2 rad, could I watercool a GPU, CPU and northbride?

My 120.3 won't fit into my case without fouling my sound card :(
 
You could, but if I were you I'd leave the extra flow restriction of the NB block out of it and just get a passive sink for it.
 
I'm with Zefan; NB is not worth the restriction.

Recommend a Thermochill PA 120.2 - every review points to it being the best. Have it installed in one PC and have to agree on its quality.
 
Obviously dependant on airflow thru the rad, but... assuming a fan is chosen that provides enough airflow to allow the rad at a given flowrate to disperse the amount of heat being generated...

A 120.1 rad will cool a fully block'd (CPU, NB, 2x GPUs) succesfully.
A 120.2 rad will cool it succesfully, but return lower temps.
A 120.3 rad will cool it succesfully, but return even lower temps.

Simple as that really. Bigger the rad (assuming identical fans are used and just quantity of fan increased), the closer the final temp of the item(s) you're cooling will be to ambient (ie: the smaller the DeltaT)
