I have a fancy new test bench on the way for my upcoming i7 build. Got the bench, Rad, Pump, Res all coming this week, buying the rest at the end of the month. Bench is the Tecnofront HDW if you are wondering.

I am using the dedicated space on the bench for the XSPC RX360 Rad, and paired with a 655 pump. I am wondering, since I am aiming for 4ghz, if the 360 would be enough for the CPU + GPU. OR Should I just figure out some more room for a 240 for the gpu only?

Also, what would be a good mobo to use that is friendly to water on the NB/SB?
 
Lots of people are hitting 4 GHz on air, so I would think the 360 would be enough for both CPU & GPU.
 
xspc is really for low speed fans. A BIX 360 or a Feser Rad is really better for extreme cooling. I would get something like a MCR220 for the gpu and the XSPC for the CPU itself.
