Swiftech MCR-220 "Quiet Power" Series Radiator/Reservoir

Right now i'm just wanting to cool my CPU (Q6700)...my GPU (HD4850) may come later if I work up enough nerve to void the warranty by taking off the stock cooling.
I'm on somewhat of a budget & was wondering how this particular unit would do since it had the built-in reservoir.
This will be installed in a Stacker 832...whether it'll be in the front or on the bottom has yet to be decided.
Thanks in advance.
 
220 rad isn't enough for a video and CPU loop from what i've read. You need multiple loops or more radiator.
 
220 rad is just about as good for a cpu loop and board loop.

i dont recomend a gpu with a cpu on such a small radiator.
 
Would a 1x120 radiator be enough for a GPU if I should decide to add one later?
I just don't know what I can fit in this case without much (if any) serious modding.
 
If you want to use the res you pretty much have to mount it vertically so the res opening is at the top, you need to either mount it outside at the back of the case or vertically inside in the 5.25" bays. I wouldn't go with the built in res rad, either get a Swiftehc MicroRes or a Danger Den fillport with a T-line, the price difference isn't that big but it's definitely worth it.
If you want to go CPU only now you should be fine adding the GPU i you add another single rad, but I would just go ahead and buy the triple right away. You'll just end up paying a little more and having a little less flow, which isn#t much of a problem though.
