Question on rads

[Shift87]

So I am looking at doing a water cooling setup in my RV02 and having abit of trouble on deciding on which rad to use. Plans are to cool CPU(1100T @ ~4.2) and 2 6870's which will be over clocked. Im not sure which path to take here go with a 540mm x 35mm rad and keep the three air penetrators or go for a 560mm x 60mm rad like a Phoyba/SR1 and get lower CFM/Static pressure fans then the AP181s. The first option is significantly cheaper but would it keep what i have cool enough? Or would the 560 really be needed?

AMD's dont run all that hot so I'd say the first option will be more than enough to handle your loop

I agree, your first choice should be ample, with a bit of headroom.
