Ok, here is what I came up with.

The build is what is in my sig except I am adding another gtx 260 core 216 graphics card.

So, I will need to cool 3 graphics cards, core i7 & MOSFET.

Here are the parts:
- Bitspower Black Freezer MOS EI58DP EVGA Intel X58 MOSFET Liquid Cooling Block (BP-WBEI58DP-BK) $60
- Swiftech MCR320 $48
- Swiftech MCRes $18
- Swiftech MCP655™ 12 VDC Pump $75
- Swiftech GTZ $65
- Swiftech MCW 60-R2 x 3 = $162
- Swiftech Apogee™ GTX/GTZ Core i7 Hold Down Adapter (Socket LGA1366) (Apogee-GTZ-Ci7) $10
- Tubing $20

Total = $458


Will all this work in a Thermaltake ArmorPlus(Armor+) VH6000BWS Black Aluminum / Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case?
Here is a link to the case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811133056


Will it all be sufficient to cool all that needs to be cooled and if not, what else should I add.


Thanks!

i would go 2 loops for you setup no questions.

to be comfortable i would get 2x MCR220's (a MCR320 might do it but i wouldn't take the chance) in series for the 3 video cards, with a MCP355 pump and XSPC top (i would get the res one for space), and what ever blocks you want.

then for the cpu loop i would get a MCR 220 or even MCR320 for extra ocing with the same pump and top.


lets say you go with 2x 220's and 1 320. as far as placement goes i would put a 220 in the front, a 220 hanging off the back outside and then the 320 on top.

+1. You are woefully under-rad'd for those components. I like the 320 for the cpu loop and the two 220's for the gpu loop.

I agree with the other guys about not enough rad for all those heat sources. I would go with a MM case of some sort (U2-UFO or Pinnacle 24) for a case to hold all the rads and go with a minimum of 3 rads in it for your 2 loops. You might be able to get by with only 1 loop with a very strong pump, but 2 loops would be best. Personally, I would go with 2 MCR320-QP rads and 1 MCR220-QP in the Pinnacle 24 myself.

good point on the MM case, if you don't have the TT case then go with a MM
