I'm posting this thread here at Procooling because I know I will get frank and honest replies.

I'm ordering my watercooling stuff in October, so it's only a month left or so. I'm hoping Cathars new G5 will be ready then, if not, I'll buy my friends Cascade.
This loop is NOT designed for optimal cooling performance, as I DON'T want to have a HUGE radiator in my case. I'd rather have a good looking setup and get it to performe as good as I can with good looking parts.

Case: Lian Li PC-75
Radiator: Black Ice Crome - http://coolercases.co.uk/wc_radiators.htm
Fans: 2x Delta Screamers 190CFM on FAN CONTROLLER.
CPU: Cascade (Or Cathars new silver block if ready by October)
NB: DD Maze 4
GPU: Maze 4
Pump: 2x DD D4 in series
T-Line

These parts will be cooling following hardware:
A64 3400+ @ 2650-2700Mhz 1.7v
ATi X800XT mild OC, perhaps nothing at all even

If you guys don't think the single radiator can handle these stufff at those speeds, then I'm all open for running two of those radiators in paralell. What do you guys think? I'm hoping for temps 30-35 idle and >45 full load. Is it possible?
I'd rather not have a huge heatercore or radiator as I'm not ONLY interessted in good OC and temps, but perhaps even MORE interessted in good looks.

Thanks!!
