One last question before I decide if I'm going to go with the 360 XT.

I'm planning on building a system around a 680i Black Pearl motherboard (factory installed Innovatek waterblocks), and an 8800 Ultra/768MB Black Pearl video card (also with a built-in waterblock).

The processor will be a Q6600.

Will the Aquaduct 360XT handle this massive loop? With the motherboard, just about everything has a block on it- southbridge, northbridge, VRM's, and CPU. Throw in the 8800 Ultra, and that's a fair whack of heat to dissipate.

I'm still looking to keep the system reasonably quiet when it's idling. I don't care if it's revving up under load, but I should hope the Aquaduct wouldn't sit there at 100% all the time (if it can't handle the load).

So, will it work? Or am I maxing it out?

Aha. That's what I was looking for- the maximum dissipation (watts). I'm surprised Aqua Computer doesn't have that anywhere on the product page.

I'm actually going with a dual Opteron (125W/piece) setup, and two 8800GTS's, which is still far under 700W. Gonna be one heck of a system...

Thanks!
