i am sure it will work fine
the CPU WB is old, and performs 3-4C poorer than the new blocks
GPU water block is fine, hope you have a reference 5870, otherwise it won't fit
radiator, worst of all radiators that I know of, except for some Koolance aluminum crap, especially with the speed of fans you purchased
pump. lol is a standard D-5 but Koolance overcharges like $50.00 for it
rest is fine, although paying so much money for bottled water seems silly.

Apogee XT's the newer WB, shows much better performance
Black Ice, eh, it's value stuff, I'd go with it
Liquid, eh, distilled water seems to work best for heat transfer and evaporates cleanly, premix can gum up and do some serious damage to components if it leaks...
extension what?
fan = 47 CFM @ 25 dba, horrible static pressure....man...justin, this fan has 0.95 static pressure. is this seriously gonna work at ALL with a radiator? Smile

fans are normally designed to just shove air out, which is basically measured in CFM
fans that are "good" for radiators are fans that have been designed to produce a lot of suction, measured in static pressure, because the fan has to suck air from behind the radiator and pass it through it

your fans have a low static pressure rating...0.95 or so, other fans, like the Cooler Master R4-L2R series have around 3.0 or so static pressure, with lower noise o_o

in short, I dunno if those fans will work too well...gonna have to wait for justin's verdict though

Well, if it is possible.
I could change the fans- they said it was ok. I paid like 50 $ more. Im getting some 200CFM fans. Now.
Is that good?

sigh...when it comes to Radiators and Heatsinks, you don't focus on CFM ratings, you focus on static pressure ratings. Higher Static Pressure or H20 or pressure ratings is better for radiators. 200 CFM fans aren't really worth it for a radiator though, it's sorta wasted money. When I was trying to do a layout of a possible LC rig for me, I used these fans :

19dba, 69 CFM, 2.93 H20 Pressure
