A few months ago, I set up my first watercooling setup (in sig) and partially for lack of knowledge, and partially because I could install it without modding my case, I got a black ice micro II. So far its been working great. Keept both my A64 and X800XT at or under 40C load....however now that ATI CrossFire is announced and should be out soon, I am going to be watercooling two GPU's, and I fear the micro will no longer be enough. So, I have been evaluating the idea of a new rad....but I don't think I can fit a 2x120mm radator. I am giong to get in touch with 2Fresh and see idf i cant get the dementions of his heatercores. But, if that wont fit, what would be better, going with a really good (chevette/bonny) 120mm heatercore or keeping what I've got?
 
Well it would be nice if you told us what kind of case you got to work with. ;)

Chenming 602.....but I totally spaced out on my first post, so let me re-explain. I had the micro II mounted on the back, fit fine being 2x80mm. Now that I've got my feet wet, I decided to do a tad of modding, and ripped the lower hard drive cage out of the case, and mounted the rad and the pump there. I may have room for 2x120mm heatercore, ive got about 9 1/2" from the bottem of the case to the CD-Rom bays, but if not I woudl definatly have room to throw a chevette heatercore or something similar down there
 
You could search for a core that will fit in your space? Thermochill has a new 160mm radiator comming, and it will fit in the space of a 120mm fan with the included 120mm fan shroud. That would offer great performance in a small size.

Well, I know a 120mm core will fit fine, but I woudl like a 2x120mm that 2Fresh sells, I am just not sure it will fit.
 
ok, so 2x120 is out of the question. Shortest thing I coudl find was 10.5", ive only got a max of 9" clearance. So, the question is now, keep the 2x80mm I have now, or get a 120mm chevette/bonny heatercore?
