Alright you can see my build im my stat page.
Thing is now I am stuck, my gpy w/b is coming and I dont know what rad would fit my needs.
Currently I have a Black Ice Extreme 120mm rad just for the cpu/heatkiller 3.0 with a 1200 rpm stock lian li Fan. The temps are great today was a very warm day (95F) and the cpu never got hotter than 143F with prime running for an hour.
So I am happy with the rad but adding the gpu to the loop will add more heat. With that said I am reading a lot and im hearing about certain rads needing high rpm fans to be used with, others say the thicker the rad the less the fan has to spin. Which is good because it equals to less noise.
My requirements are as follows I want the rad to be good at cooling with low rpm and then when I wear my headphones push the rpm's to 2000 rpms. At nights or when not gaming I would like the fan to drop to 800-1100 rpm.
With that said I have picked out these rads and set ups
replace my 120 extreme with a HW Labs Pro II or a 240 stealth and then adding a 120 mm pro 120mm on the exhaust port of my case with a 120 slim fan.

I dont want extreme performance I am not planning to OC my GPU and my CPU will only be pushed to 3.4Ghz only since I dont see the need to push it even more.
or would a single 240 stealth or a single 240 ice pro handle the cpu and gpu?
The gtx rad is out of the question since they are for extreme performance and the SR-1 rads are just a little bit to much if i can get away with a pro, stealth or extreme.
I trully would like the extreme rad but it hard to find a blue one now in days so thats why i didnt mention it.
thanks.
Fans wise i plan to replace the 2 front fans with coolermaster 2000 rpm fan with blue led's and adding 2 pull fans open to suggestions
the two rears with 2 http://www.performance-pcs.com/cata...e=product_info&cPath=36_408&products_id=27033
I stumped and that why i havent been able to continue my build LOL
