Default Radiator help.

Ok so I've pieced together a setup which includes

Swiftech MCP655 - Pump
Swiftech Apogee - CPU Block
2x DD Maze 4 - GPU blocks
10 ft 1/2 ID tubing

Now the question is what should I look at for radiator(s)
I have a Thermaltake Armor and would like to if possible keep an inside system, however I was looking at getting 2 rads. Either two 2x120's or a 2x120 and a 3x120.
I want to keep this setup as quite as possible so high cfm, low db fans would be a plus as well.

The reason for the dual rads
Pump>Rad>CPU>Rad>GPU>GPU>RES>(Back to Pump) It'll be a considerable long loop and I know the pump can handle it. I want max cooling in the beginning on both the cpu and gpu's and let the rest of the system.

So what's the best way to go with low db fans and rads.

1 120x3 will do... you will only get a few degrees lower with two.

Why not look into getting a large heatercore, there are some that are much bigger than the bonneville, what you are talking about will be tough to keep internal anyway.

Heatercores are huge in comparison though right (more width I mean) by internal I should have made a little desciption of either inside the case or mounted onto the case (top mounted rad for example).

Snerp you suggested a 3x120
Now what kind?
A Black Ice Pro/Extreme etc etc (remember I want quite fans comparied to what I used to have <Vantec Tornados>)

if you want quiet fans you should go with one of these rads:

swiftech 360
Black Ice ProIII
BlacK Ice GT360

the GT is supposed to have the performance of the BIX but with lower cfm fans like the pro.

for fans go with some low rpm panaflos or yate loons

I can tell you that Bonneville cores perform pretty well with low cfm fans. I have two thermaltake 120mm smartfans on mine and it stays just as cool with the fans on low or even running just one. I have even turned them off for long periods with only a slight increase in temps.

i just got my water colling all setup in my TT armor case and i went with a dual 120 rad. it fits just right in the front of the case man ..the drive bay hangers keep it from going back into the PC and the removabal mesh inserts in the front keep it from falling out the front and it will have litte or no play at all i got the ideal from the sight here is a link to what im talking abought. This is a link to the thread starting at the picture..and the main picture im talking abought..thread by GatorLCA
