Hi guys i currently have : swiftech dual rad http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...1&name=Swiftech MCR220-QP Dual 120mm Radiator

something like this just black and

Swiftech Laing D5 Vario MCP655 12 VDC Pump http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...me=Swiftech Laing D5 Vario MCP655 12 VDC Pump

i was thinking when i will come back from holidays in mid august they will have released 4870x2 and hopefully some waterblocks for them.

I was thinking to watercool cpu and gpu in one loop. first in a loop of course would be cpu then gpu. because it is going to be one loop, should i go with triple rad and maybe more powerful pump if there is one ?

any suggestions guys maybe you have some better ideas ? is there any pumps smaller then D5 and more powerful?

ps: space is bit limited antec 900 case

Ty for help

the pump is more than enough but I think you will want to upgrade to a nice 120.3

The Swiftech MCR320-QP offers excellent bang/buck..you might have to move it outside of the case with a swiftech radbox though.

the rad is outside already at the attached at the back of the case money is not problem looking for best solution.

thats my second time that i installed water cooling so im not really expert on it

ps : would be nice to replace the swiftec pump to something smaller but with the same power. as i have problem were to put it in i upload picture when photobuket is back up

To answer you pump question:

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...t=1042&name=Laing DDC 1-T Pro 10W 12 VDC Pump

And IMO although a triple rad would be better it isn't needed. I cool my 3.8Ghz q6600 and a overclocked GTS G92 (as per sig) on one loop with a double rad and cpu temps are 65ish and gpu is 43C.

Adding the gpu only put one or two degrees on the cpu temp so unless you are going for the max overclock on the cpu, I can't see the point.

If you have the money however then get one.
