Are we looking at the same cooling requirements here? I mean I was thinking of getting a MCR220 for cooling ONLY a 65nm Quad, but do the Yorkies need the same thing?
IE: 1.3v+, 3800MHz?

According to this:

on the swiftech site it should be able to get rid of around 300watt of heat in a fairly normal system. That would cool a single quad core easy. I don't know if you can go any 'lower' in terms of radiator specs (I think thats what you mean?)
As the MCR120 would - prolly - cool a quad just about enough, it wouldn't leave much headroom, if any at all:

Obviously these are swiftech rads, a thermochill PA120.1 might do it. I'm only guessing though here, I don't know if this is reliable info, please correct me if I'm wrong.
