I wonder how many people are doing all 3 using a pa120.2 or another dual 120radiator?

Maybe this can answer your question.
8800GTS SLI, QX6700, 680I NB.
@ stock core is 28c, GPU 1 30c GPU2 34c, NB 27
@ 3.4Gz CPU is 34c, GPU 1 34c GPU2 36c, NB 30c
with Iwaki RD30 @ 18V
using 3 SAN DENKIS, on a Sunbeam Rheobus @ full tilt, but the fans are not loud to me, and my case is three feet from me.
These are not SOLID temps, the bounce 2-3 +/- degrees.
Right no I am using NTune monitoring for temps.
So, if that is not a great program, take the temps with a grain of salt.
Mind you ambient room (basement) is 60-65F.
Blocks are in sig. With one PA120.3.
I woudl dare say that as long as your room temp stays below 70F, then you can get decent temps, I know they can run much much hotter, I won't know till the summer.
I have yet to hit MAX OC as well.

so your 120.3 is handling the heatdump of 4 HOT AS HELL items with no problems...hmmmm makes me wonder what the 120.2 could do...possibly handle 3 items?

I don't doubt that...LOL
I just ordered a PA120.3 lastnight to replace my PA120.2
Now just have to figure out where I am going to mount my pump now...*-)

But yeah, your no where near stressing that PA.

I know that the 120.3 is considered ZEUS among radiators..but I wonder if the 120.2 could handle the cpu/chipset/gpu?

well, if you look at tests done by marci, i think the PA120.2 could handle it even. It loses to the swiftech 320 by a hair margin.

Sure it'll handle it. Just depends on what kind of performance you're looking for ;)
hell, a 120.1 can "handle" it but you'll have damn high water temperature. But if you're totally fine with it, then it totally qualifies as "handles".

+1
the 5 foot bong i built cooled my water like 10c below ambeint
too much pain refiling it every 5 hours though

I used a bong back in the day when they were popular, but I didn't like it for several reasons
1) Bongs have to be replenished with water that evaporates
2) I also had to keep adding fungicides to keep stuff from growing in my loop
3) It was noisier than a rad with some quiet fans on it.
4) My stoner buddies kept wanting to smoke out of it :p:
& everyone knows Chuck Norris can kick Bruce Lee's arse with both feet tied behind his back! :P

Why is the PAxxx.x so good compared to other radiators? Is it the material?

Judge by yourself (http://www.thermochill.com/PATesting/index.php#PA1203)
I personally think is because is Made In Yorkshire© and it's cooled by the relentless winds of the Yorkshire Dales.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA....
1. yes, they do need to be replenished. But the cooling capacity on them cant be matched.
2. OH yeah... completely forgot about that.... you dont want antifreeze in a bong because it will smell really bad. And yes, algae is more common to grow on a bong with straight distilled.
3. yeah it is a bit louder.. well no i take that back, its a hell of a lot louder.
4. ummm my buddies also wanted to do the same thing. Then i told them theres slight antifreeze in there, and they looked at me and said COOL!
Lastly bruce will eat chuck, 3 words:
1 inch punch! :nono:
