would a BI stealth 120 and a 240 in a single loop be sufficient to cool an i7 920 and a single gpu?
im dreaming right now and want to know because i have a tj-09 and it has a mount at the top of the case to use a 2 fan rad and the exhaust port at the back to mount a single rad.. i just want to have everything internal, i kinda like seeing all the tubes inside ![]() i will go a single 360 rad ifi have to which wont fit internally but i want to keep it inside and near silent!

i'd use a less restrictive rad if you're planning to use 2. i'd recommend the GTX, or for fans below 1200 RPM the XSPC RX.

The Stealths aren't fantastic. They're too skinny. A good dual-pass radiator (like the Black Ice Extreme) would be better.

If you go with the the less restrictive rads like chiel suggested, it would be plenty sufficient. I use 1 xspc rx360 rad to cool my i7 920 and gtx260 with the i7 oc'd to 4.0 and the gpu overclocked just fine with great temps.

ok thanks guys, ive been reading alot lately about 2 rads in a sinlge loop. i used to think and was told before that the restriction of 2 rads is not ideal but have been noticing alot of people gearing that way lately. so a good strong pump and a 2 fan rad paired with a single fan rad is not going to hurt flow?

It shouldn't, no. Ideally you want to go with 1 rad but if you simply cannot fit it inside or mounted externally then the 240 and 120 would be your beat bet. There are alot of cases that house a 360mm rad available these days and quite a few that I've seen in the for sale section. If you simply have your heart set on your current case then go with the 240 and 120 rads as it will be the closest to the performance of a 360 rad.
