First water cooling rig:
Athlon 3200+ (s939, 90nm) plan on heavy overclocking
6800GT (heavy overclocking, SLI when available)

Components:
DD TDX CPU block
Maze NB block
Maze 4 GPU block
2x DD Dual heater cores and shrouds.
DD 12v pump
1/2 ID tubing
Cheapo-style DD 5 1/4" bay resevoir

Flow schematics:
Pump>cpu>dual heater core 1>gpu>dual heater core 2>res>back to pump>ad infinitum

Add your thoughts, but here's one thing I would like clarified, specifically: is having twin dual heater cores worth it with what I am trying to do? Would I be better off w/ just one? Or should I do independent loops (loop1: cpu, nb; loop2: soon to be sli graphics cards).

Im using a Lian Li mid tower case, a pc6070, custom modded with a rectangle cut out for the heatercore on top, and I am gonna cut another one out on the bottom after removing the drive cages, that is, if it is even worth a damn. I know heatercores are best known for their non-restrictive flow, but would having 2 dual heater cores in one loop defeat the purpose. Again feel free to add whatever you want to the mix but try to address the heater core question if possible.

Thx.
