Need cooling advice

Ok....you might be saying this needs to be in the Case & cooling section but I had no luck there, plus what I want to know is something that I think only overclockers would know.....

I was thinking of getting a dangerden block for my 9800 pro but was wondering if one heatcore would be enough for both the video card and cpu? Would I get better temps if I added a second heatercore to the mix?

Another idea I had was to get a small freezer. Walmart has a 5.0cu for $130, would such a freezer be able to handle a 1-2gal res? If so what kind of temps would I get? Im not looking for subzero temps or nothing but Id be happy if I can get my cpu around 75F with the 9800 pro in the loop.

Suggestions? Comments?
 
You do mean a heatercore from a car, right? Like the one that everyone is using, from a Chevette? That will be more than enough for cooling both your cpu and video card. And, we haven't seen this freezer at Wal-Mart. Different Wal-Mart's carry different things. Measure your reservoir, and go to Wal-Mart, and measure the freezer to which you're referring!
 
I have the same heatcore that dangerden sells.

I was thinking of getting
this one but someone from another forum said I would have major problems with condesation.

Iv also thought about just getting a 2nd heatcore and then have one in the loop before the blocks and then the 2nd one after the blocks.
