Ok, so here's the deal:
My PSU seemed to be the limiting scenario in my overclock; I've rigged a pair of them to my case to temporarily get around the problem until my TTGI 550W gets here in a day or three. My 3.0C is now able to hit 3.9ghz stable at 1.63v actual. By most of the online and offline calculators, I figure this processor is throwing around 110-115w of heat at this speed and voltage. Combine that with my upcoming X800XTPE which will (somehow or another) hit at least 560 core, and I expect to have my WC setup munching approximately 180w of heat.
Here's my thought process:
I want to pick up a MeanWell S-320-24, and strap a 172W/24v pelt to my CPU along with an 80W/24v pelt to my GPU. This will effectively dump another 250w+ of heat into my watercooling system.
Thus, I'm going to end up with over 400w of heat to get rid of in my WC setup. The question is, what kind of radiator and fan power am I going to need to dump all of this to the outside world? I've got one of WA2's dual rads (9.5" long, 5 1/4" wide, 2" tall, all copper) with a pair of 120mm x 35mm Delta's pulling and a BIG 120mm x 55mm pushing (oddball shrowd setup).
Is this going to be enough, or do I need to get a little crazy?
