Radiators can dissipate kilowatts. The radiator isn't the defining factor. Your own defined limits are the factor.
So, what are your defined limits? Target temps? Target noise?

Noise is not the big issue here.
"Enough" for me is keeping the CPU (Opteron175 which runs at 110W stock, so probably more like 130W-140W with O/C) below 50C under heavy overclock and load as well as keeping the GPUs around 50C or less under heavy overclock and load.
Basically I am looking to keep things relatively cool while not losing overclocking potential due to being heat limited.
So then, is the dual rad still enough or should I add in the second 120mm rad.
Again, I do not think I have room for a triple the way my case is laid out but I will have to measure.
I assume you suggested the triple rad because that is best scenario?
