Am running the said kit cooling i2700k @ 4.5 and 7950 (standard clock @ 900mhz) - very nice.

Have decided to go crossfire and do not believe that the current pump/res. combo(x20 750 - I think) is powerful enough. Thoughts?

A possible solution - as I'm not flush enough @ the moment to invest in a new pump (D5) and res. - I'm thinking is:-

Uninstall the raystorm cpu cooler .
Re-install my corsair h60 to cool the cpu - it was working well and kept it at a pretty low temp when running before (not exceeding 60c on IBT)

And

Use the kit to cool both 7950 Gpu's.

Would have thought that such would be a good 'un but would appreciate members thoughts.:)

Just to mention that in longer-term will look to cool cpu + 2 gpu on same loop but given fact that I've allready bought a new gpu and may have to buy a new psu (if current 650 is not up to the task) AND I've got to buy the gpu block - I'm going to defer new pump and res until later

Lastly - sorry for all the ?'s - can someone provide a link to a good video showing how to drain a loop when the idiot who installed it (i.e. me) did not think of installing some kind of drainage system

360 rad should be enough to cool 2 stock 7950s with some headroom IMO.

Draining a loop with no drainage system ... uhmm take graphics card out, sound card out etc etc ... get a measuring beaker/cup + line areas of your mobo + PSU with a towel, take cpu block off and take off 1 fitting over the cup - let it drain. Keep tubing in cup and drain other fitting to remove CPU block - drain more and then when you think no more coolant should come out, put a little piece of paper towel in the end of the tube pick up any small drops
 
pull the lot out and drain outside the case? might add another 10-15mins but since your removing the cpu block anyway.
 
Triple 360 is absolutely fine for CPU/GPU, been using a PA 120.3 for 4 seperate CPU/GPU builds over the past 7 years!
 
To drain an XSPC bay res, I just release the res from it's mounting, slide it forwards so you can access the fill port, hold the computer horizontally and undo the fill port over a bucket.

Once it's started draining, you can rest the computer on a chair or something (still holding the res, you don't want it to pull on the tubing too much!), and just shake it occasionally to make sure water doesn't end up trapped in the blocks/rads.

Once you've drained what you can that way, start disconnecting and draining individual components, working backwards round the loop.
