Will this work if i go with an eheim 1048 then it goes to the radiator then the cpu then to another radiator then to the gpu then to the HDD and finnally back to the pump. Is this worth it or would one radiator do fine. I am gonna use a Gemini Spiral with all 3/8 fittings.

That set up would be less than ideal. IMO, water cooling the HD is a waste of effort, time and money. 2 rads is unnecessary and will kill your flow, especially with the 1048. That said, your best bet would be to go pump>rad>cpu>gpu>hd>pump I would ditch the HD like I said. The water after the cpu is only like .03C hotter than before the cpu.

yeah, it will work. why are you using two radiators? going for a fanless attempt? if so, thats a good idea, but if not, why not just go and use one decent size heatercore

The only reason i say this is cause i had my geforce2 gts @220Mhz for the GPU and 360Mhz for the mem and my athlon 1.4 was at 1.68 on 1.75V-core and the water was coming out pretty damn hot into my current resovoir sytem. I am planning on switchin over to an inline with a radiator. I was just wondering if one radiator would be enough.
BTW is the DTek unpainted cooler core a good way to go?? Also whats a good fan to use that will give me performance but not sacrafice a lot of noise??

Is it worth the extra money to upgrade to the TC-4 w/the aluminum top and the revisions (http://dtekcustoms.safeshopper.com/18/150.htm?525)
Also is this fan too much or jusst right and how loud is it??http://dtekcustoms.safeshopper.com/19/153.htm?525

if you're going for heat dissipation efficiency you want the cooler running items in line with the water coming out of a radiator first. Gradually getting hotter with the items you are water cooling until you come back to the pump and then into the rad again. This maximizes the heat differential for each device. Not doing this may give you better cpu temps, but will increase the temps of other components. The way i describe gives you a lower net temp for your computer's components.
