It would help to know what kind of cards you want to put into a graphics loop. The rule of thumb is 120mm per GPU. Thanks.

How many and what kind.
You should be fine with a 220 as long as your not trying to do tri-slied GTX295s or anything.
Sry for dident say:
MCW60 For now, but its designed for HD5870X2.

if you have the space, my motto is always go bigger. so i vote triple, but again if you have the space.

So you have 1 HD5870X2 that your using 2 MCW60s on?
No. I m buying a new block (i guess) when hes out.

I don't know if you are attempting to use some form of "1337 speak" or you are not literate in the english language, but it's annoying and I have no idea what you are talking about anymore.
And if you actually own an HD5870x2, how much are you selling the time machine for? :D

An MCR220 is more than fine for the majority of video card loops. If all you're looking at is one dual GPU card, then a dual 120mm radiator (like the MCR220) is fine. Heck, it'd be fine for two GTX295's in SLI for most.
ROFL you guys totaly messed up. ive said im planing to buy one in the FUTURE when hes out, cause my time machine is broken now and im too busy to fix it up. Anyway The question is what RAD should i buy for Graphx card loop which will contain card like HD5870X2 (Which i guess will be hot).By the way,MCP355 or MCP655 for the pump?

I'll make it simple:
Buy a Swiftech MCR220 for the radiator.
Buy a MCP355 with the XSPC reservoir top for the pump. (A 655 is fine too, they are both great pumps.)

We have no idea what the heat output of an ATI 5000 series card will be (because it doesn't exist in retail channels yet), and thus, can't really help you figure out what cooling is necessary. You can either plan for the worst and get as much radiator as you can stuff in the case... or you can hope the heat output will be similar to current cards, and go with an MCR220.

Hey guys - what radiator would you suggest for SLI 295s (single pcb)
