You should be fine? How many fans do you have

Good choice for a CPU kit. I'm not entirely sure what you're asking, but one radiator is plenty if your just cooling a processor, your not going to get any lower then ambient, and as long as you have decent air flow in your case as well, there shouldnt be any problems. If you want to try and lower the temps more, you can buy a fan to install over the water block, or upgrade the one connected to the radiator if possible.

ill post it up when i have everything put together since there the case is all apart since i just puted in the cd drives and 500gb hard drive with a hdd fan.
