Yes it is.

that is an awful lot of blocks with high heat dumps in one loop.

High heat dump? Where do you get this from?
6800U uses ~73W for the whole card. 7800gtx uses less power IIRC. This includes the ram chips and the regulator inefficiencies, i would be suprised if gpus put out over 50W. Considering the size of the heatsinks that come with them and the piddly little fans that run on them, they probably run much less. Keeping in mind that a BIX-II can handle a pair of
Xeons at 3.7Ghz, i think a BIX-III should be able to handle it

i set mine up in two separate loops and i've had wonderful performance. with those kind of parts i'm sure he wants all of the performance he can get. putting all of that in one loop is not going to cool enough to get decent/stable OC's.

I dont get this whole 2 loops mentality. Would it not be better to have 2 rads in a loop and 2 pumps instead of 2 discrete loops?
Not having a go at you, but i honestly don't understand the whole "omfg 2 loops roxxor teh big1!" thing that is going around.
