Hi, just wondering if PA160 and PA120.2 will be good enough for a Q6600(Dtek fuzion+nozzle) +8800GTX(mcw60) and NB(mcw30) in the loop? Only a DDC3.2 with XSPC top pump will be used in the loop. Both CPU/GPU is OC'd. thanks in advance for any help :)
You should be fine! :up:
Looking forward to a worklog!!! :D

Yes. That is more than equivalent to a PA120.3, which would handle this loop with no problems.
EDIT: Smee beat me to it :down:

Thanks a lot for the quick response, will take some pics and upload when finished :)
also, with 2 radiators in the loop, whats the best order to setup them?
pump->cpu->gpu->nb->pa160->pa120.2-pump
pump->cpu->pa160->gpu->nb->pa120.2-pump
I know the water blocks can be in random order but how about the radiators? can I put waterblocks between 2 radiators or it's best to connect the radiators together?

pump->cpu->gpu->nb->pa160->pa120.2-pump
pump->cpu->pa160->gpu->nb->pa120.2-pump
IMO, neither. I would do it this way:
Pump->PA120.2->CPU->NB->PA160->GPU->Pump....
That would be your best bet, and would give you the best temps.
Oh BTW, wheres the Res?

Ahaaa!!! :p: :D :D :D

thank you. I put the cpu after pump because i read somewhere that water come out of the pump carries the most pressure, so better for cpu temp, i guess it is not true?
forgot to mention, I'll get the xspc top with res on top.
