That rad should be enough... What size lines and what the smallest bottle neck you have in your system? I'm running some mystery pump I found in the garbage from an aquarium, so I'm guessing it's around ~100-150GPH? My heater core was from a Ford Festiva (7.5x6x1.8) All copper etc. I made my own block from a 6mm 2x2" plate, then hopped up to home depot and got a 1.5" copper end cap and soldered the sucker on. I'm also running HUGE 3/4 OD x 5/8" ID tubing to hold more water. All of that bottlenecked by 1/2" nips for a slower flow rate out of the Radiator. According to this crappy Asus probe I'm peaking around 48, which I know can't be right... even this POS rig I have should do much better. It's the block I know it. The heater core is really nice, you should be seeing lower temps... your N-bridge puts out about 30W+CPU+GPU(40W)... that's least over 110W easy if you're planning to OC... You might need a larger Rad. :shrug:

Anyone have an old water block they might wanna part with? I'd love to keep building my own, but it takes too much time and hassle etc.
