Watercooling loop:

Radiator: GTX240
CPU: i7-965
Video: GTX280
Pump: DDC 3.2 with DD Top

Do you guys think this will keep things at a decent temperature? This is only a temporary loop in a Coolermaster 590.
 
You'll need to add CPU Voltage and Freq if you want a good answer.
 
Running with 4 medium yate loons and this is what i am getting.
Well it is 22c in my room now and here is a screen shot of realtemp after 8-thread prime95 small clusters.

I also found out by looking into the computer today that my res I am using is not keeping the air seperate, wasnt like that on Monday. So I am pumping pink foam instead of red liquid, I am not hearing any great noise from the pump. This will be corrected on sunday with a new resevoir that is much larger and will hopefully keep the air seperate. Maybe my temps will go down with proper liquid instead of foam.

Those are decent temps ;).

The foam may be because it wasn't bleed enough.

You should stress the GPU at the same time when you have a CPU+GPU loops. I bet your temps will get up there. That rad is enough for either one or the other, even with one being loaded and the other just at idle, but if your playing a game...temps will be higher i bet. Probably not going to get detrimentally hot, but something to consider.
 
Yea defiantly. Get that 360mm rad for the cpu and use the other for Video. Won't have to worry about temps so much :D

Thought I should add, those are the same temps I get on mine. Except overclocked to 4ghz with HT.
 
Playing Left 4 Dead or crysis and temps only get up to the 35-45c range, after hours of playing.

And this is just a temp setup until march-may timeframe. Then will be switching to a Quad 120/140mm radiator.
