1-10 scale 10 being the best. What would you rank it?

It's an 8 and totally best bang for the buck. Petra always rocks so hard when it comes to this sort of thing, but you'll only be able to do your CPU with that. Honestly the step up from that is much more expensive. Make sure you get the Yate Medium fans if you go with that.

I have that rad (one of em), that pump, but a bit better block (ek supreme) than the kit that bumblebee posted... keep the fans in that pull config, get the medium Yate Loons and a fan controller.

So for an 270$ I get an 8. Thats definitely not breaking the bank and sounds damn good. Thanks for a post I can use.

I'm going to play some pool with the homies, ill check in on thread later. Thanks all for helping!

Don't tell me the opinions are stupid. I wasn't talking to you in the first place. All of my questioning was to the OP in attempts to understand what HE wants out of WCing. It's honestly brought me tons of joy to make mistakes and gain some satisfaction with WCing. The only thing that hasn't been stellar has been the monthy drain on my wallet from getting so damn curious about different rads, pumps, and blocks.

And that would never be an issue because my wallet would put a stop to the variety. I'd get a system that would be the best and stick with it. Curiosity ends there.

Just remember... don't cool your gpu, chipset, or hard drives.

don't apologize it's alright

I just have to say, that before you get scared off watercooling completely, RADs aren't the only way to get better temps. Contrary to some people. A triple is pretty extreme for a proc, and you will be able to run that with some low speed fans and get great temps. Cooling GPU's isnt a problem either, high end system builders do it all the time, and it works out peachy.

Those guys guarantee the same overclocks that me and you would get on a triple with CPU and GPU in the loop.

Although, you won't be able to OC much higher AFAIK. The voltage is the limiting factor on the E-series duals.

If you put watter wetter or some other performance-enhancing additive into the loop, and use nice but not loud fans, you'll be fine. Will run much cooler than air.

I had a that exact dualrad on my Q6600 at 1.5V and 3.6Ghz never went above 55C... and I had a crap block and antec tricools on the medium setting.

I deleted my post the kit is out of stock and has been for a long time I think.
