Right now I'm running a eVGA GTX 285 SC (675Mhz), my goal is to watercool to reduce noise first and then maybe overclock it some more. I'm using a Lian Li PC-60FWB and I plan to later add a 320 radiator to the top panel to cool everything else. As of now though I was thinking of just cooling the GTX285.
WC Components:
GPU Block: EK GTX285 (EK-FC285 GTX - Nickel)
Rad: Feser X-Changer 120mm Extreme or Swiftech 120 + 120 stacker (when it's available)
Pump/Res: XSPC Laing DDC Res with MCP-350
Fan: 1 or 2 Scythe or Noctua fans (in push pull)
Housing: Lian Li EX-34B to replace 3 5.25" bays
According to the Watt Calculator on the FAQ, I would need to cool about 150W. I want to keep the noise at or below 25dBA. Will the two rad choices be enough to keep this cool and quiet considering the fans will be running around 1000-1200rpm and (I estimate) displacing about 50CFM? I know it depends on the pump, tubing, and fan... but is the Feser X-changer up to the task? Does anyone know the average amount of heat it can keep in check (considering normal and quiet fans)?
