Cool Got a few questions. (Rad related mainly)

Hi everyone,
I'm looking to get back into pelts, haven't done this stuff since i aircooled a 60w on a geforce mx4000 PCI back when i had an XP-M in a shuttle (and my 37s iirc 1m pi was hawt).

Anyways, I have a pretty nice midrange water setup i think (phase coming for cpu) I have a Maze4-1 GPU with an 80w pelt coming tomorrow, and I have an alphacool NB block (NB-I2), Black ice pro, and hydor L30 already here.
I
'm thinking that the 80w pelt on the maze4 will probably be enough for my x800gto2 (R480) that I'm sending off to persivore for vmods, but I'm not sure it will perform amazingly, and it certaintly wouldnt handle an x19x0 series card (probably one of my next major upgrades).
I'd also like to try pelting my northbridge, just for shts and giggles really, but it has to help somewhat seeing as i915 doesnt like high fsb's too much, and runs pretty warm anyway.

I figure that if i end up with a decent pelt on the maze4 and a pelt on the NB (maybe the 80w from the maze4), I'm probably going to overload my poor little BIP, so i'd like some advice on rads, or if my BIP is adequate for the heatload.

I would also appreciate it if you guys could take a look at my situation, and see if you have any info that could help me get the most performance out of my stuff without spending too much cash (I'm only a teenager ).

As always, constructive criticism is welcome but please no flaming.

Thanks,

MD
