Evening all, just a small question, I'm about to start building a dedicated folding rig based around an I7 920 D0 and a GTX 295 GFX card. Those 2 components will be water-cooled (my first foray into such cooling!!!) Question is, will a Thermochill PA 120.3 radiator be enough to cool both CPU and GPU(s)?
Thanks in advance

If you are using high powered fans and without a huge clock the temps should be ok, but dont expect wonders. What you are really cooling is a 920 DO and two gtx 260's and with that in one loop you wont get much of a clock on.

Cool, cheers for the info. I would like to crank the CPU up (have heard what it can do). Might have to stick with air cooling on the GPU or just see how it goes.
