I have this kit cooling my CPU right now but I want to add a GPU cooler since I broke the fan on my 6970. What would I need to buy in order to do this? Here is what I am thinking:

Any other more reasonable block that is very good? I heard that this one is great from a friend of mine but this costs almost what I paid for the XSPC kit alone.

Any other suggestions?

+More tubing
What size tubing and barbs does this kit come with?

So then I would run 360rad->cpu->120mmrad->gpu->360?

Is the pump that comes with this XSPC kit sufficient for this? If it is not i'm probably just going to save the money and just RMA my card. Bluescreens or freezes on full load because of broken fan blades just want to watercool the gpu more or less for fun and to try to OC it past anything I can do on the stock shitty and now broken fan.
 
Most blocks perform similarly, buy based on looks and price.

If you're going to add another radiator, I would get a new pump. The RASA pumps have been known to give out with more load than just a stock RASA kit.

I agree with that. At that point you really should look at a diffrent pump for faster flow rates and stuff like that
 
I assume you NEED another radiator if you are going to add a gpu block right?

Sorry am new to this.
 
Nope, a 360 radiator is enough to cool a CPU and GPU. This also depends on the fans being used, but if you're using the 3 stock 1700 RPM fans, it should be fine.
 
I have 3 yate loon medium speed fans for that.

Nice to know I don't need a 2nd radiator maybe then I can use this stock pump.
 
With just a GPU block, then the pump will probably be fine, although I would look into upgrading the pump as my next upgrade before adding anything else to your cooling system.
 
Just got this kit in the mail yesterday Installed it today, was an easy install.

So far i'm colling CPU only though I have my GPU stuff, I want to see what the different in temps before and after will be.

I'm going to OC and post screenshots but I was wondering what voltages people run to get an i7 920 to 4.5/4.6 ghz? ~220 BCLK x21 multiplier.

Running P6T6 WS board from Asus
Tried 220 and 219 bclk with - finally got 220 x 21 to boot. Have yet to test
Updated Bios

tried to change PCI-e freq, but it would make it so that I did not have sound.

It is not stable, any suggestions?

Don't touch the pci-e frequency. Most things will only operate properly at 100 mhz.

What is your RAM? 1.75 v seems really high for any type of ddr3 memory.
