Im putting together a new watercooling loop for my rig. My case in the NZXT H440 and i7 4790k @4.6 1.28v and 2 x gtx970 overclocked, I was planning on:

1 nexxxos st30 280mm rad in the roof in pull

1 nexxxos XT45 280mm rad in push pull redux noctua 900rpm fans

EK supremacy CSQ clean

full cover EK blocks for the 970's (when they are released)

is this gonna be enough for me to maintain a silent system with reasonable overclocks??

I couldn't get it stable at anything less than 1.28 @4.6ghz I can run it at 4.8ghz but it requires over 1.3v

360 in the front (thickness depending on where you planning to fit the reservoir)

thin 240 in the roof

I'd recommend Alphacool
 
I was definitely gonna go with Alphacool. I only recently bought 4 140mm noctua redux fans which at 900rpm are silent and push 49cfm hence the 280mm in the front with these in push pull on the Alphacool xt45 as the fans cost me £50. Is there a huge difference between 360 and 280 XT45 rads?
