Will it work?

[johnnyfive]

Hey guys, new to the forums (and to water cooling). I have a question I would like some help on.

Im looking at an XSPC RX360 "thick" triple 120MM radiator, a Swiftech MCP-355 pump with a XSPC Rez top, and a HeatKiller V3 1366 water block with the optional HeatKiller backplate. Not sure on the fans yet, probably something in the mid range of cfm output.

My questions are:
1. Is this a good pick of components?
2. Will it cool an i7 920 AND a gtx 295, both at stock speeds?
3. Will it cool an i7 920 overclocked and a gtx 295 at stock?
4. Will it cool both overclocked?

Thanks for your time,
Johnnyfive

i would guess no. you can always try it and see what your results are. i think if you OC both then another 360 should be great.

Would adding a 240 be more appropriate?

just a 360 and a 240 should be alright but i dont know how much overclocking you could do with it, also the heatkiller 3.0 is supposed to be very restrictive and what block are you planning on using on your 295, the heatkiller? anyways i would get a stronger pump, like a 655 or something

1. The components are good, for fans you can use S-Flexes, F fan on a fan controller.
2. Maybe, won't get great temps though
3. No
4. No

The GTX 295 itself would probably require the triple on OC. The i7 you could maybe get away with on a triple only.

Sounds like a second loop is in order. I am not seeing any particular advantage to the different water blocks for the 295 Anybody have any experience on those?

What pump and radiator would you guys recommend for the gpu?

Thanks, I want to do this right.

if you want to cool an OC 920 and one 295, a single triple rad will work on a single loop setup.

It will probably work just fine if you OC both as well.
