Hi guys, so I bought the NZXT bracket to use closed-loop coolers on the GPU.

Microcenter is selling the Thermaltake 2.0 Performer for 4.99 and the 2.0 Extreme for 34.99 (after rebate) so I bought one of each.

My question is, which one should go where? Will the 120mm radiator (Performer 2.0) sufficiently cool my GTX 780 SC? Will it cool it better than stock? It is the blower EVGA design.

Or should I use the 120mm on the CPU (mildly overclocking 4670k).

The 120mm liquid cooler will do a better job.

With the stock cooler I'm hitting about 67 degrees at load (Metro Last Light with everything maxed out)

It is not overclocked right now, just running stock. Will the 120mm liquid cooler do a better job than the stock cooler do you think?
