Will a thermochill 120.3 be enough for just the CPU(Prescott)?
If not wat would you recommend? (other than fans  )
Please share your summer experiences w passive setups. Thank You.

Hi I run a Barton 2500 (65Watt) and a Hydor L30
I cant run it passive vertikaly however in horrisontaly there is no problem for me, the water temp is 38.3°C after 3 h with burn in (amb. =21,3°C) running = my CPU = 51°C.
There is a new radiator 3*3*12cm over at
www.vcore.dk, that one should do the trick. (or use a Landrover-71 radiator).
If I where you I'l mount one papst 12cm and run it @ 5 volt, seal of the rest of the area. When I run my (3) papst @ 7 volt I cant hear them (and I have a very sensitive ear) throw the radiator, then my water temp is 3 °C above abm. (@12 volt delta T = 2°C)
