jcool, ure completely right, I been sitting here looking at some old speculation max OC watage numbers of mine. One minute with google confirms your numbers are more or less dead on all over the place

I still under the impression and believe I need a second PSU to drive the total HD I run and other gear and keep things rather quiet on the PSU fan noise. I like running my PSU at 50% for reasons of noise alone.

This is sweet news for the build size thou, and leaves me with only needing a quad or single loop with two times triple fan rads as you say, keeping whats there in case size other than the PCI slots will be good enough.

That basically also means the cooling will fit into the case with no further increase.

I will edit my post above to reflect my setup changes
