it seems somewhat impossible for 2 x GPU, 1 x CPU to be that hot. You think he done something wrong due to the way he loop his pipe, or you think zalman just can't cut it?

Parallel loops without flow tuning between the loops. If you've got pump head and flow to spare you can add a variable restriction to each parallel loop to tune the flow and make it work. As it is I think his CPU/NB loop is getting a trickle as it is likely the more restrictive parallel loop and he's already splitting the flow of a 1046 in a restrictive system. He's using long small tubes, a 1046, and FluidXP with what look like restrictive blocks.

His planned solution of adding another radiator will likely make things at best no better. If he plumbed it in series and upgraded the pump to something that could push FluidXp with some more head and flow then we'd then be able to see the performance of the Zalman Reserator. As the loop stands now there are more likely candidates for the weakest link.

Just my opinion, ymmv.
