Provided a WC setup is connected to a very strong pump with a very high head - i.e. Iwakis, would it be possible to remove 350W of heat passively by "stringing" 2 or more good heatcores together?

Space and size is not of concern - provided size is not excessively large.

This assumes the pump can overcome the flowrate restriction of the CPU + GPU waterblock(s), pipe bends, heatcore(s), etc.

I am trying to design a scalable watercooling system that is able to cool the current hottest CPU and GPU and even the next generation models.

The WC system would still be able to run the system stable even when room temperature reaches up to 35C in the summer.

As an example: a 3.0GHz AMD XP CPU at 2.3V produces 170W (from a web XP calculator) and the hottest card today is the 6800 Ultra Extreme producing 110W at maximum draw.

I'd just like to get some qualitative comments before I hit my Heat Transfer + Perry's Chemical Engineering books and start some number crunching.
