I currently have one Blackice 2x120mm rad just cooling my 1055t and it does a decent job. Idle around 30C, load around 48C. I am adding two MSI 6950s this week and am thinking about watercooling them both with EK blocks and adding a 3x120mm rad along with my current 2x120mm radiator.

The radiator I was looking at was the Coolgate CG360(3x120mm).

Will I be able to get decent temps with this setup? I have an old Swiftech MCP-650 pump.

Don't use an EK nickel plated block. It looks like they're replacing all of them due to issues. I went with XSPC and they've thus far amazed me. Someone did a comparison against a Swiftech I believe and it had at least a 5 degree C delta lower.

I just watercooled my 2500k and 6950 unlocked. I haven't had much time to play with them, I have 2 240 mm rads that are 30 mm thick and they give me around 23 idle on my 2500k @ 4.5 and idle 23 load of mid 40's while gaming. It looks like you should be fine since that rad is another 120 long and double the thickness.

Cool, was going to go with the Acatel version, but to be honest, do not know the difference in metal properties. I did read about the supposed issues with the nickel EK blocks.

I will look into the XSPC Razor waterblock.
