you know...Ive been wracking my brains about how much air I need to get through my rad to get best performance and how to situate it to get the coolest possible air when I thought about chilling the radiator.

Instead of putting a 226W pelt on the cpu (for extreme overclocking) and having to go through insulated tubing ruining the entire look of your cooling rig and worry about condensation etc.. couldnt you just use a couple 80W on the Rad instead? Use stainless steel/anodized aluminum for the shroud and who cares if you have condensation on the rad... Only problem is, how to dissipate all that heat ?:P Perhaps a second Rad loop?
