Ok, sorry for another thread, just don't want to add it to my first thread about another WC'ing question because I can't change the title.
Background info: I have a TT Bigwater kit which has done wonders for my 3500+ @ 2.6GHz. Some people will laugh because of the 1/4" fittings, but I'm getting 31C load and 22C idle which IMO is decent. I bought this kit over the others because before the holidays with sales going on like crazy and online coupons + discounts I managed to get this kit for about $85-$90 shipped. And since this is my first time using watercooling I wanted something cheap and easy.
Fastforward: Ok, so I have an Opty 165 on the way to me which of course I plan to OC. I also bought a Northbridge chipset waterblock as well as a waterblock for my GPU. Figured I'd get my hands "wet" a bit more. Now my question is, would another radiator help my cooling? Right now I have the radiator that came with the kit mounted on the outside so I would be looking for a smaller radiator to mount on the inside of my case. As of right now, I still haven't spent that much on my watercooling setup. About $150ish to have my CPU/GPU and NB watercooled, so to me that's still on the really cheap side of things.
