Watercooling questions.

Hello,

I'm currently running a watercooling setup on my cpu with a D-tek Fuzion, a DDC 3.2 pump and 2x Swiftech MCR120 radiators. I've recently upgraded my video setup ( and motherboard ) - I'm now running 2x 8800GTS OC 640MB from XFX. The cards are clocked at 600/1900 stock and are EXTREMELY hot. ( But you already knew that ). Running them the way they are now can't be good for stability or durability.

So I want to water cool them. My questions are like this:

1. Do you think putting the two video cards on a single loop with a CPU would be too much for my pump? DDC 3.2
2. Do you think two 2x120 radiators ( like the MCR220 ) would be good for cooling such a setup?
3. I have room for two 2x120 radiators in my case, which model would you recommend?
4. I'd like to get combined gpu and memory waterblocks for my video cards. Something like the Koolance Vid-280, which one would you reccommend?

Thank you in advance.
 
EK 8800 FC block > Koolance

CPU on the current loop, GPUs in a separate loop with an MCR220 or two

1) No
2) No
3) MCR220 or a PA120.2 if you can afford it :)
4) EK 8800GTS blocks :)
 
Seeing as how both of you recommended adding a second loop and getting more than 2x 120.2 radiators I'm probably going to have to upgrade my case.

Any suggestions? Something that doesn't require a lot of modification hopefully :-P
 
rad off the rear 120mm mount with a Swiftech Radbox, cut two fan holes and mounts on the top of the case for the other rad
