My setup will have a PA120.3 w/ 3 Yate Loon D12SLs (slowest) and a swiftech MCP655 pump.

GPU waterblock with ramsinks, and apogee GT. My video card is putting out some crazy heat and so is the quad core.. not sure if this rad is up to the task once I OC them!!

i think so.Since it is the pa... if it fails, you can always add a mcr-220, as their like 35$. just my opinion.

You might want to step up to the medium speed Yates just to be safe.

With high speed Panaflows on a PA120.3, it can dissipate over 600w of heat. With the low speed Yates, I would say its good for 350w, maybe 400. The quad at full load OC'd will probably put out about 200-250w and the 8800GTX, another 100-125w.

Define "enough." You will have very nice temps with that setup...but not the best temps.

Im cooling a Q6600 and 8800GTS, very well, with a Single PA120.3..

I think it has headroom for another GPU Block as well.

Check my sig...

look at what i run on an mcr 220 in hong kong heat...

That'll definitely be enough.

I ran an oced E6600 and a pair of oced X1900XTs with a 2x120mm heatercore. Temps were very acceptable IMO. Low 50's for cpu@3.6GHz 1.4V and mid to high 50's for X1900XTs. I think you'll be fine with a PA120.3 running a quad and GTX, unless you're going for a WW.

Im running a PA 120.3 Yate Pull config w/ a q6600 and a 8800 GTX. Idle temps on the processor range from 38-42C on all 4 cores and the GTX idles around 45C. Under full load prime stable for 8 hours temps were ~ 58-61C on the 4 cores. You can check my sig for OC settings.
