Sorry but I really don't think you'll find a kit that will cool 2 7800's, and a FX-55 very well.

Most kits are designed for ease and moderate cooling, not for there great cooling.

For all that I recommend a 120X3 radiator, and I am pretty sure there are no kits that come with something that large.

I'm just talking about cooling the CPU.NOT the GPU's....sorry.

o ok.... the Swiftech H20-120 is a decent kit for the money. And the corsair cool (which is the exact same thing).

the MCW-6002 that is used in the Swiftech/Corsair kit is a better block than the Danger Den RBX/TDX, as well as the pump. My last pump was a Hydor pump (like the Danger Den kit ones) and it lasted about ~8 months. the Swiftech kits use either a MCP650 or an MCP350, both which are good pumps.

There is also the Koolance Aquian ICM-505. It was announced on June 13, and is available. There is a review of it here:

It is supposed to have performance equal to the original EXOS which really isn't all that shabby, and could probably do the job you want it to do.

I'm using the original EXOS for my system cooling the CPU and GPU and have never seen the CPU get over 40C even after hours of FS2004 which keeps the CPU usage at a constant 100%.
