Hi,

I want to watercool the following items,

1 AMD 64 3500+
2 6800GT's running SLI
and the chipset of my Asus A8N SLI mobo with the following watercool stuff

2x aquagraFX 6800 Revision 2 (ohne Anschluesse)
CPU block
GPU block
A dual 120mm fan rad
Eheim 1046

Will this setup cool enough? Or is it good to do the following?
add a dual 80mm fan rad? 2 use for the cpu and gpu ?

The dual 120mm radiator should cope fine, make sure you get some good quality Panaflo fans on it ^_^ Look forward to seeing your setup, don't forgot to drop by and post it in the gallery ;)

So you think it would work with only the dual 120 radiator?

Aslong as air flow is good enough.

With that rad run passive? Honestly? I'm more on the side of 'maybe not'... AC sells the 360 in their passive set, so I would imagine that for both of those GPU's and CPU, it's going to be on the hot side. Have you checked out the Cape Corp Passive radiators from Alphacool? A single column is pretty cheap, and they can be used alone or linked together to form a massive cooling structure with massive cooling power.

Also, from user reports on the web, don't buy the Twinplex with the Nforce mounting screen, buy the one with the ATI mount. The ATI screen, with some off centerdness, will fit onto the chipset and not get in the way of a capacitor or anything. A user on the Bit Tech forum noticed that with the Nforce mounting screen, he didn't realize the block was not making contact with the chip, and he fried it.
