Hey guys, especially you Aigo...

Just wondering what you guys would think the total heat output of an OC'd i7 920 @ 3.6GHz, 1.3v, and 2x GTX 260 Core 216 55nm @ 700/1509/2140 would be...

and if it would be below the 400-500W heat dissipation of my PA 120.3. I know my i7 is probably throwing out a good 130W, so would the GTX 260s be below 150W each? heh.

Thanks for any input.

If not, it would look like I would need to find a way to fit a MCR220 and a MCP355 w/ XSPC top in my case...

its not just that.

i think your after silence too.

extra rad means less noise on the fans because you can downvolt more.

I'm not one of the ones after silence. This is my performance rig, not my daily use rig. For daily use, I use my Q6600 (MCR320 w/ fans on lowest voltage to spin) and my laptop. Do you think with my Zalman ZM-F3's ramped up to full RPMs, the Thermochill could handle the load? I don't want to mount an MCR220 off the back and I have no room to mount it on the side mounts. Not to mention finding room for the pump... I'm trying to keep this build internal.

then can you fit a 480?

Or possibly if the 220 is too big, an additional 120?

I actually might be able to fit a 120 into the existing loop. Only a 360 fits up top but I might be able to fit a 120 on the exhaust fan. XSPC RX120?

So then my loop would be Res->D5->PA120.3->ApogeeGTZ->RX120->MCW60-B->MCW60-B->90deg fitting->Res
