Im building a WC system and I plan on using a pelt (172W) on the cpu (AMD XP 1800). Idealy I would like to add GPU, NB, and HDD water blocks into the chain. My question is, will the water be cool enough after the rad (BI extreme + 2 120mm fans) to cool the entire chain? What is everyones opinion on how this loop should be configured? I know for optimal cooling the CPU should be after the rad in the chain, but is the water cool enough to provide any benefit to anything else after it??? If not I suppose I could go with a second smaller WC setup for everything else and have the CPU on its on loop, I would prefer of course to keep things as simple as possible. Just looking for some advice!

Thanks in advance,
kem
