[QUOTE=Talonman;3163728]I stepped out of my GX2, and into a GTX 280. I currently have a single loop with two blocks cooling my system. I was consirned how my temps would be adding a 280 into the same loop.Quote]

Talonman, Just beautifull and such a result. I was worried about having everything on one loop with my next build so doing something similar (ie but already had my current vid card water cooled). Since have not had the cooling results you have with your prior set-up and plan two of the ATI 4870 X2's, I went to two PA 120.3's). Have the PA 120.3 in the top of my new case (just like the formula build), but building a stand/loop box (inspired by the Keg) to hold another PA 120.3 for my two vid cards. Sticking the PS in the top of the stand/box to get it out of the way of the vid card barbs (PS on bottom in the stacker with the PA 120.3 in the top). The loop box/stand is being built out of all aluminum (exception bottom panel), so is light enough to bolt to the case. Was glad to see your good result with one PA 120.3.

long aluminum strip to be cut to go under bolt heads in bottom of case for support (bolts sitting loose in holes). Will also have a on off switch in the box for pc and there is room for extra drives if needed. The loop box/ stand would hold two Pa 120.3's with all the related water stuff if that is all it is used for and looks to adapt to phase cooling (may be too heavy to move that way?).

Thanks, and glad you found the info handy...

Fantastic job your doing too. Any update?
