    Which Loop to run NB/SB and Mosfets in?

    So I will be running 2 loops in my new system.

    1. CPU (either E8400 or Q6600 overclocked). Using Fusion with nozzle kit, DDC 3.2 w/Petra's Top, Thermochill PA120.3 w/Yate Loon Low Speed.

    2. Video Card (8800GTS (G92) stock). Using MCW60, DDC 3.2 w/Petra's Top, Thermochill PA120.3 w/Yate Loon Low Speed.

    Which would make more sense to drop the Northbridge, Southbridge, and Mosfets into? Should they be split up between them?

    Unfortunately it is NOT an option at the moment to run a third loop for them otherwise I would.

    I have a feeling it may come down to which Processor I end up using and as such would love ideas either way.

    I say put the Mosfets with the CPU loop, and the NB/SB with the GPU loop.

    Everything on GPU loop. Keep CPU by itself.

    No gain on the stuff in GPU loop from cooling since they were designed to take the heat.

    Totally agree with this, put everything in the GPU loop and leave the CPU loop by itself. However, if you insist to keep 2 PA120.3, it's a bit overkill for the cpu loop so I sugges you split between the two anyway.
