Recommended setup for Q9450 + 9800GX2?

I have a post in the General Hardware section if you'd like to read for more details http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?p=1032386098&posted=1#post1032386098

I plan on using a Silverstone TJ07 case, Q9450 OCed to 3.6ghz, and a 9800GX2 with a Corsair HX620 power supply. I just read from a thread in this section that a single 120x3 rad and pump would not be enough to cool the CPU and GPU but the user didn't mention what would. Your suggestions will be appreciated.

unfortunately, I think ATM, there is no Rad that would be able to handle that combination. best bet is to leave the GPU on air, my buddy has it that way and it hits like 70 degrees at load, so its up to you

fromeo85, you are wrong. A Thermochill PA120.3 could handle the load, especially with a Q9450 which put a bit less heat than a Q6600. Anotherway is to have 2 loops with 2 PA120.2 or MCR220.

Thermochill pa120.3 can handle anything out there.
