Dreamcaster, I like the way you have set up your wc in the Eclipse. Will that rad cope with the addition of a NB waterblock into the loop?

I would have thought so, its full loading on both cores at 48c. Thats dual prime. I'd just imagine it would be iffy if you put the graphics card in too.

I plan to dual it in the future anyways

(when i get a card worth doing it for)

my physics a level says yes, but an expert opinion from a watercooler like w3bbo would me more useful for you.

you could go with the PA120.2 and lose your top 2 optical drive bays, this is what i am doing with a view to doing the GFX and Chipset.

the 120.2 is as good as most 360mm rads so should give you room for more,

but if you go for the .1 you may need a faster fan and better coolant.

as i said, one of the experts here will be able to answer properly.

edit: Dreamcaster beat me to it!!

Dreamcaster, what o/c are you running at?
