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.
 
i had that kit myself and was very pleased w/it. I have since upgraded. anywho you already have your cpu and gpu cooled by the kit correct? now your adding a system cooler and your thinking of addin another rad. the rad would help lower temps but i think if you do all of this you might want to consider upgrading your pump. The kit pump was a little on the weak side but it worked fine for me when i had my cpu and gpu cooled. however i don't think it will have enough power to do everything your asking it to do. especially if u have the newer SE kit as it has less flow than the older kit. hope i was of some help and didn't jsut confuse you.
