2 120mm fans on the BI Extreme? Why? It is only big enough for one. stacking the fans or putting one on each side won't help too much. I think that the BI Extreme is powerful enough to perhaps cool everything, but the water will heat up considreably after it gets to the CPU so you will be throwing VERY warm water onto all of the components. Ideally, I would get a second radiator and have the water go like this: pump - rad1 - components - rad2 - CPU - pump
