Current setup is:
Aqua extreme pump, Dtek heater core,switftech 6002p, and uv res from directron. (system spec in sig) current temps are 38c idle 46c-48c load. I am very happy with these temps on my oc'd "pres-hot". I just got a 6800gt and would like to wc as well. My question is:

How much will adding a 6800gt with Maze4 to my loop add to the temps?

I don't think anyone can really give you a definate answer. It's all pretty much subjective on your particular loop.

I can say, adding the CPU to my loop only increased CPU temp by around 1-2c during full load gaming (bit of a guess, I haven't actually compared temps, just general observation). But that's my loop.

What fan(s) you have on the HC will matter. I dont have that exact setup so its hard to say. At max load a 6800gt will consume about 55watts. Each ram chip sucks like 2w if it has the 1.6ns ram, so about 40watts is added to your loop. Say 45watts for good measure as Im sure all the ram chips would be sucking max power all at the same time. Im sure someone can guess with those figures.

Thanks for the quick replys!! I was just trying get the benift of someone elses experience. I have just one Aluminum 80cfm fan I ordered from dtek when I got the heatercore. It is very low noise and the quietest 120mm fan I ever owned,thats why I like it. I could always add another in a push\pull config. Thanks for the input.
