I've been using a Swiftech H2o-220 Compact for about 2 years now. It's worked great with my previous rigs(E8400/Q9550). Now that I have added the i7-860 to my arsenal the H2o-220 is having trouble keeping up @ 4.0ghz and 1.4vcore. Max temps @ 100% load on all 8 cores is 73-74C. This rig Folds 24/7, so I need to lower temps and guarantee stability. I would also like to know if my temps seem high or is the H2o-220 doing a pretty good job? Let me know your thoughts on the following:

1)I will be adding an EK Supreme LT block to the loop.

2)I will be adding an additional MCR220 radiator to the loop for 2 total.

3)I will convert my Apogee Drive 350 block/pump to a MCP350 and possible solder-mod it into a MCP355. Will this single pump be able to run the entire loop?

4)I'm pretty sure I should run 1/2"ID tubing instead of 3/8"ID, correct?

i would switch the dual rad for a triple rad .. with or without res.
i think that would give you current setup the biggest boost right now.
also, what fans are you using? maybe some GT's

I'm running 2x Ruilian Science RDM1225S @ 1950rpm(they came with the Swiftech kit).
 
the gentle typhoon's are really great fans and push a good amount of through the rad and can handle a good amount of back pressure

what case do you have? maybe you could add a single or dual rad inside
 
lol .. i see .. looking for a triple rad now.
 
See OP and give me you thought guy's.
 
keep the 220 add a 320 and add a water block to your cards :)
 
im running a mcr 220 with my i7 @ 4.0 ghz 1.22 v -bigadv and my max temps are 61 C. mcp 355 with push pull on the rad. also cooling my mosfet in an antec 300
