Well I had a custom Loop then switched back to air while I was at training,
then I recently purchased a H50 and was decently impressed
Q9550 @ 3.4
Idle- 30
Load- 60
Push - pull

I was going to add a spare 240mm radiator I had but then I realized the H50 is ALU, so perhaps I should give the Antec 200mm radiator a try since, I have a Antec 1200,

good combo?

or bad idea?
 
Are you asking about adding a rad to the H50 or adding a 240 rad to your custom loop? If it's the former I wouldn't do it, the H50 is sealed and it has a small pump. If its the latter, then yeah why not add another radiator to your loop.
60C isn't bad for load temp BTW.
 
it was adding a rad to the H50 loop but all my rads are chopper,

I was asking if adding a 200mm antec rad would be a good idea,
 
given the tube size and everything i'd not bother and leave the H50 alone. It'd be more headache making it work together with custom components then it would be to just built a totally custom WC setup.
 
You might as well build a custom loop. The block is almost certainly copper, so it wouldn't matter whether you use an aluminum radiator or copper radiator. Either way, you have to use a special coolant. There's also the question of the H50 pump having enough power to push the water through the additional radiator, as well as how long it will last doing that. The H50 is designed as a self-enclosed system, as soon as you start breaking that apart, you destroy the whole idea of the H50, and should've just gone with a custom loop in the first place.
