Just curious..
I know for sure that the rad I have coming can cool my components with no probs(Thermochill HE120.3)..but i was wondering...i will have a Opty 170@2.8ghz and 2x7800gtx 512mbs in the loop. Would it be beneficial to keep my MCR-220 in the loop?
Would there be much pressure loss? Im using a MCP655 pump, could it handle it?

Say...Thermochill ->CPU->MCR220->GPU->GPU->Res->Pump, rinse, repeat.
 
I'm sure the minor pressure drop from the extra radiator would be worth the increase in silence. Having said this, I think it all comes down to whether you can *fit* the thing in your case in a way that's appealing to you. The less hose, the better... It's always best to use what you have, and that pump, I think, can handle the extra load.
 
If you can fit it in your case, definately do it. It would be worth the extra cooling IMHO--especially in an SLI configuration like that.
 
i'll definitely have the room because i would just mount the rads externally neway...
running all the fans at 5v would be nice an quiet...hmmmmm
