I am just about to upgrade my rig from whats in my sig to a q6600 and a 8800gtx on a gigabyte p35 DQ6 board and would like to know if my watercooling kit will cope with the heat or not.
Watercooling wise i have the following to install :
Pa120.2 rad
Swiftech Storm CPU Block
EK 8800gtx full cover block
Swiftech 655 pump
(2 X Maze4 GPU blocks currently on the 7800gtx's)
All running on 1/2" internal tubing
its currently cooling an opteron 170 at 2.8ghz, 2 X 7800gtx's and the northbridge - and although it copes quite well its not ultra cool - so was wondering if the q6600 and 8800gtx will generate as much heat as the current stuff (as the chipset will be cooled passivly on the new board) ?
Oh and the PA120 has 2 Panaflo fans on it (cant remember the model numbers but they are the higher cfm 38mm thick ones).
Advice welcomed as Im hoping to get started on sunday.
Thanks

thats what i was hoping to hear - even if i overclock the cpu quite a bit (its a G0 stepping so hoping to get it up a fair bit)
