I want to mess around with another build for WCG/GPUgrid. I plan on putting an i7 920 and a GTX 275 on single loop powered by a D5. Think I can get away with a 240 rad?

I know I probably should go larger, but I don't want to hack up the case.

Also, if it's a 24/7 cruncher, I'm sure someone (or more) will tell me I need to cool the mosfets too...

San Aces screaming? then sure go for it.

Yates on Low? I hope your not Ocing.

Yeah a 240 GTX with 4 fans with good pressure. Won't break any records or anything but will keep it cool for 24/7 crunching on stock or small OC. Just try to keep your ambients under control. I have my computer area always at 22C.
