its the 3.2e, have the rbx, a pair of ddc and the 120.3 ready, just need to get some tubing. Asking around to get a rough idea of wat to expect.

Mine: Ambient plus 20°C
Yours: Better than mine, but not much. The water temp has to be hot enough to get a good delta-T going.
Keep in mind you'll need to cool the PSU, GPU, and the case in general. As per many other threads of mine, try to design a case with one slow spinning fan that has air flow to everything that needs it, including the rad. Every bit of air flow helps.
