Hi guys I am new to watercooling. I am setting up a watercooling setup to cool my XP2500+ & Abit NF7-S with a maze4 cpu block & z-chip n/b block from dangerden(I know the RBX is newer but can't get that in my country). How much lower temperatures will dual black ice extreme radiators give than a single one? I am deciding whether to get a GPU block to cool my GPU(R9800Pro) or a second radiator. All the waterblocks would be in one closed loop. Will using dual 120mm fans on the radiator help? I hope to use one to bring in cold air and another to pull the warmed air away. Yes, I would not be using a reservoir but a T setup will that be good? What the elbow & straight fittings about anyway? Before you guys ask, yes, I have done some reading up.:p
 
Mind if anyone tells me more about a T line and Y fitting?
 
I'd get the gpu block, and go with dual heatercores, but that's just me.

Your setup looks good, A T-line is just to fill and bleed your system of air. You don't want elbow fittings they kill flow.

If you go with the Black Ice extreme, go with the dual fans, it'll help.
 
instead of getting dual rad.. why dont ya get a bigger rad? after water ran through the cpu block, the water temp normal only rise 1 c or 2 c... it will not hurt the cooling effect on GPU....

dangerden sells caprice heater core too... that is chevette core x 2 size wise. or you can pick it up at your local NAPA store for only US$ 19
