I guess that's more or less what I was getting at. You can't figure it out ahead of time until you've got data for all your parts themal conductivity, thermal capacity, operating temps and whatnot. And we don't have much in the way of radiator data.

But I think the best answer is to just get a dual heatercore and if more cooling is needed, buy more powerful fans. In my opinion a single 120mm heatercore doesn't cut it in any overclocking scenario.
