I have decided to use a dual loop. I just do not think this unit is up to the job if I add GPU's into the loop, I am going to use this to maximize CPU clocks as I think I will reap the best results, The thinking is with 2 over cards at 230 watts a piece at stock clocks I will be looking 460 watts and if I go tri 690 watts ... that's stock .........

Overclocked it could get ugly ..........

My thinking is I would have to water couple this unit and even then it could struggle. That plus would probably have to buy higher capacity TEC's. I am speculating but I am thinking possible only a 5C advantage over ambient, that being said I have the room for 3x 480 rads to cool them so one to argue I will have ambient water coming back to them.

So looking at the TEC to cool the CPU and typical ambient water cooling for the GPU's ...Mind you that the typical water cooling will be over the top

I would have like to see as well, but thinking it is a waste of time and money as I would have to buy blocks that would not be used for the build just to find out where I stand and with the CPU testing results I am convinced this unit would be crushed by a tri SLI set up. Single card set up I do believe would be a worthwhile endeavor, I think this unit would bring some great results under those circumstances.
