Need some general advice from experience from anyone that has added a 7800 GTX to their watercooling loop, on how much did your load CPU temps increase? What size heatercore?

Right now I have

77 Boneville Heatecore + Shroud
2X Panflo medium Fans
Eheim 1250
Opteron 148 @ 3000 mhz

I'm planning on throwing a maze 4 on my 7800 GTX, but am concerned that my load cpu temp will be increased too much.

I did the math for the temp increase, but it seems to low, mostly because I estimated the cooling capacity for the heatercore, and without knowing the real head loss for the pump, estimated the flow rates.

Anyone have some real numbers on CPU load temp increases after adding a GPU to the loop?

Thanks
