No I'm running at 4.6Ghz as is type this.
So that would mean that I might have to add a 120 to my 360 at some point.

I have to ask if you have them set properly in the bios. I didn't think orientation would have that much effect on speed. This sounds more like they're not getting enough power.

Alphacool UT60 360mm rad with some NB Eloop fans in push/pull config should work well for the cpu and maybe add a 120 or 140 rad later for gpu if you go wc on it
The kits are nice but the fans and tubing that come with are so so
Pick out the components based on how well they perform in tests and what you can afford
Going custom cost alittle more but not really too much more and it will do better

You should be fine with the 360 rad as long as you're only running the cpu through it.

Good info thanks, is the GTX360 the only rad. in the case?

Unless you're going for a 780 or higher from NVidia or an R9 280X or higher from AMD, there's no point in WCing the GPU.
Your cost to return isn't that good on cards lower than that. (unless you're running multi-gpu, which you said you weren't planning)

Thanks for the input. +1 on the kits I don't care too much about someone else picking everything.

Yes it is and it is quite old too. Its one of the earlier generation GTX rads that might not be top performers these days.

My 480mm rad keeps mine @ 4.9Ghz 50* & 40* and the fans are not running full blast
Too bad my chip won't go past 4.9 though
I went as they say overkill but it should cool any cpu I put in there

Is your GPU in the loop? My case will only go a 360.

It looks to be about 60mm, so not much bigger than the one I chose. It is 56mm

I would get an Alphacool UT60 360mm then.

Nope only cpu on that rad
I plan to add a other 480 rad for the dual gpu's even though its not needed but I have plenty of space in my case

I just took a look at it & I remember seeing it before but I couldn't find a FPI on it. Do you know what the FPI is? I don't really want a real high count due to having to get really high speed noisy fans.

O.K thanks. I would say that maybe you would fall into the overkill category when the second 480 is installed.

I think its 8 or 10 fpi

Martin said 9.6.
That said, it was the best thermal performance and lowest restriction radiator he had done.

Well I believe that we have beaten the rad. to death. I have decided to change my choice to the Alphacool Ut60 that ATMINSIDE suggested. Looks like it is one of the best ones out there.
Going right along with the rad. is the question - compression or barbed fittings? I am leaning toward compression
