Hi , i am building my water cooling system for the 1st time. Will this be enough?

Looking to wc only the CPU and GPU:
1)core i7 920, with asus rampage 2 extreme, hoping to oc to 4.0 ghz
2)GTX 285 SLI
3) Ambient temp: 27-33'c

I am pretty new to water cooling and for my 1st attempt, i am looking for a single loop set up. Koolance seems to have a user friendly "product selection wizard" to help me get what i need.

1)reservoir - pump - cpu - gpu - gpu- radiator- reservoir. Is this a good set up?

2)will the koolance pmp450 pump ( aka mcp655, D5) be enough for this loop? i think it has a head pressure of 4m.

3)Due to my chasis, i could only put in a dual 120mm radiator, hoping to get the faser 240mm for this. Will a double radiator be enough for core i7 , oc to 4.0 ghz and 285 gtx SLI ? ( with two 120mm, cfm=116 fans)

4)which cpu block is best for core i7 ? I heard Apogee GTZ is really good... how about koolance 350? Koolance seems to be coming back ( they didnt do too well earlier) recently, based on 2-3 reviews in xtremesystem.com, the koolance 350 block for LGA 1366 cpu is doing pretty well, beating the apogee GTZ. But, could i really trust these reviews by forum users? Any suggestion?

Thx in advance smile.gif

Oh thank you guys for your input, oc4/3 and xandman smile.gif

So i need to do a dual loop set up. Which means i need 2 pumps, 2 reservoir and 2 radiators right? I am using the "hp voodoo blackbird 002" chassis, it's big... but i am not sure i could fit in 2 loops, especially with the radiators.

More home work for me... will do some research and find out if i could put all these in my case. blush.gif

So Acther, u finally got your parts from koolance? i read your post in koolance forum few weeks ago. Guess what, i am from SS2 as well, when i build my system, u can come to my house and help me , haha rclxms.gif

cstkl1, i heard EK block is quite good for the cpu even though it is pretty restrictive.... are they not good for NB/SB? when i oc my 920, hehe, expect tons of question from me, so i say thank u and sorry in advance. tongue.gif
