I'll have 2 Rads. A 240 GT Stealth, and a 120 GT Stealth.

I'll have the CPU, GTX full cover block, NB and SB to cool.

Would I notice much difference putting the lot in 1 loop, or would it be better to have the CPU and the 240 GT rad in a loop by its self?

I know there will probably be a difference, but will it be more than 3 - 5C ?

Thanks for any input

the problem you have is that everything bar the cpu is too much for a 120.1 probably but mixing components on your 120.2 would most probably be a waste too.

I'd either go for the cpu on the 120.1 on its own or just stick it all in one loop or get another 120.2 and go cpu in one and the rest in the other.

TBH either way will make jack all difference to your OC.
 
A 120.1 is plenty for a GTX. I had a 120.1 cooling 2x overclocked 8800GTX's fine. The issue is the GT stealth 120 doesn't compare to a PA120.1 unless you have some high CFM fans.

GFX with SB on 120.1, CPU and NB with 120.2.
