Lo All,
I'm about to spend yet more spondoodly on my rig(s) in the form of my radiators. but need some assistance.
I need to have a rough idea of which is likely to put out the most heat:
PSU, NB and 2x Raptors or
6800 Ultra
Reason being is cos the 6800 is going to have a dedicated loop, but I need to know what size rad to give it (120.1 or 120.2)
At the moment, I'm assuming the PSU NB and drives will be kicking out a fair bit of heat as the computer will be under pretty high load (clocked at 4.2 Ghz at the mo) and would benefit from using the 120.2's (which is actually gonna be a Aqua Computer APE 240, as I'm running smallbore for components for routing simplicity) increased surface area for dissipating the combined components heatload, but I'm a tad worried a 120.1 is a bit inefficient for a 6800 on its own.
What you guys reckon?

CPU is Mach II cooled btw
