I'm currently running the following water cooling gear in my rig:

- XSPC 750 H2O Pump/Res Combo
- HWLabs Black Ice GTS 240MM Rad
- HWLabs Black Ice SR1 120MM Rad
- EK Supreme HF CPU Block
- Bitspower 1/2" ID Compression Fittings
- 1/2" ID Tubing

I'm using the above gear to cool my 2500k at 5.0GHz with 1.435v, but would like to add my HD6950 with a EK 6970 FC block. I was told I may need a bigger pump to handle it and I thought I'd ask here first.

I'm looking at the Koolance 402x2 with a single pump, or a DangerDen Monsoon with a single pump. Would these choices be an upgrade and give my system the flow it needs? I need it to be somewhat compact because all of this gear is housed in a modded CM 690-II.

Thanks

Yes absolutely - easy answer :).

The only "weak" (quoted cos theyre not that bad) point of the xspc kits is the pump.

Monsoon with an MCP35X would be my choice.

Can the Monsoon reservoirs hold a MCP35X? I really like the look of them better, but I really didn't want to run a 655 or similar pump.

Thanks
