Good enough for what?

You've got a pump, radiator and block, so the thing will work, but as far as performance it depends on a lot of things.

-what are you cooling with it, and at what speeds/voltages?

That could of course be called "good enough" as it will obviously be better than any air cooling around that doesn't use a leaf blower, but it all depends on what you want your system to do for you.
 
If you are going to be cooling anything significant and want temps lower than a good HSF then you might want to get (2) BIX micros and run them in parrallel.
That way you still get the benefit of a small rad but the performance of a much larger one.

But like what matttheniceguy said, what are you trying to do with this system?
 
i seem to hv a CPU idle 48C with intel stock fan with a little overvolt

btw does that AGP Power option in BIOS help overclocking?
 
You mean that 2.4C in your sig? According to a program I have called cpu power it will put out aout 85 watts running at 3.0 and say 1.525v.

I have a barton core putting out about 95W and am keeping it under control with only one 80mm radiator, so it is possable. That said I have 2 fans ducted to blow and suck on it so it takes a lot of airflow.

I would suggest you get yourself a nice big cheap heatercore from your local auto parts shop. For $25 you can get a radiator better than anything you can buy branded for computers.
 
btw the Senfu Radiator cost $20 now
should I get that one?
I screw up my Senfu one by drilling the pipes
