Small GPU Loop

Hey guys ...

I am looking at making a small GPU loop for a GTX 680 and was wondering if a single 120mm rad would be enough to cool a 680 with slight overclocks ...

The specific rad is the UT60 full copper rad from NexXos (sp?) ...

I was also looking at getting a nice small res that I can tuck away somewhere and then I found a local retailer that has the XSPC X20 450 res/pump combo that runs @ 450l/p ... is this thing any good or am I wasting my time ? (the max water temp of 50c is what worries me) ... or would I be better off going for a dual bay res (XSPC X2O 750 - even though I really dislike these things)

All information would be greatly appreciated.
Regards.

There are no decent water cooling suppliers in SA ... I found that THIS is probably the closest we will come to having a water cooling supplier in SA and they don't stock full water blocks for GPU's and they have like 1 CPU block available .... they do have rads and res' though.

You can also try contact XS-PC as they should be able to give you an official supplier in SA for a GPU block and other goodies (I am contacting them tomorrow)

What were you trying to cool with your WC setup that you saw no results ??? ...

My cards are rotated 90 degrees ... So you see the front of the card perfectly ...

This is how my system looks before extension cables and the WC I plan on doing (just realized it was before my new speakers as well ... lol)

Anyone got information on the original questions ...

1) is a single 120mm UT60 enough to cool a 680 with a mild OC
2) Is the X20 450 strong enough to run a single GPU loop and the addition of a CPU block later or should I go with the X20 750 ?
