I would Suggest a Quad Radiator from TFC : http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-023-FO

Would be asking a lot from a triple rad, would definately go for a quad or for best temps two seperate loops

it will definitely work, make sure you have a fan controller with fans that can be turned up when required but which generally are turned down. So ensure you get fans that at 12v push reasonable air but which can also handle running at 5v.

Yea, if you go for a Thermochil PA120.3 with some good quality fans you should be alright I'd think.

or like others have said, could go for 2 loops? Both GPU's in one and CPU and maybe northbridge in the other? Would cost a lot more, but would be better

Should be fine but not 100% sure on temps, give it ago and overclock and see what happens.

honestly that'll be finer than fine.. you guys need to get a grip lol!

The rad will cope with it fine, everyone has a tendency to 'over-rad' things. You wont get the best temps and the fans might have to be high but it will work.
