I've seen some going back and forth in the "Official Rasa Owners" thread as to what the pump/rad in this kit can handle.

If I were looking to get a Rasa 750 RS240, would I able to add a water block for my GTX570? Can the included pump handle the extra block?

Which bring me to the second question, is the RS240 rad enough for both my i7-2600 and the GPU? Would I have to add another rad to this setup? Mind you, it's not going to be running a crazy OC on the 570, just want to cool it off a little and get rid of the fan noise under load when folding. Could the pump handle another rad, perhaps a XSPC RX120, in addition to the waterblock?

I would look at the RX240 kit to start with, but I fear that my case (CoolerMaster 690II Advanced) may not have the room for the bigger rad. I haven't measured yet, but the RX looks pretty think. If I were to add a secondary 120 rad, I would put it the back panel and replace my exhaust fan there.

Thanks for any feedback.

Yes it would handle it. Temps wouldn't be as good as of you had a 360 Rad but it still would work and work ok.

It could handle both the extra block and the extra rad? Just want to make sure I'm on the same page as you.

Yes. It can handle a 360+240 Rad, CPU gourmet and SB blocks from what I have seen

Mine handles 2 blocks and 2 rads just fine.

The 690II will hold the RX240 in the bottom of the case perfectly fine (need to take out the bottom HDD cage) and another slimmer 240 rad in the top. The cooling would be adequate with only 120mm of rad space for each component, but more is of course better. I'm personally planning on dual 240 rads with a CPU block and dual GPU blocks, giving me slightly more than 120mm of rad per component.

Off topic, anyone know if the RS240 kit's pump would be able to handle this?

Thanks for info about the case. I think I'll probably get the RS kit and pick up an RX rad on the side. That way It will be more than enough to keep everything in check.

Based on what Blue and Zaiber said, the pump should be able to handle that, but I'll defer to someone who knows better than me.
