I was not sure where to post this but since it is cooling related I posted it here.
I am debating on wether to add a GPU block to my watercooling setup. Either a Maze4 GPU or the Swifty.
The issue I need help resolving is how many watts the GPU produces on my Sapphire 9800NP. I am trying to figure out exactly how much more the water is going to be heated up if I added that block.
I am running these watercooling components right now:
Swiftech MCP600
TC4
BIX w/ Shroud
120mm Vantec Stealth for the BIX
Temps stay around 41*C with this setup on a mild OC on my CPU. But when I really crank up the OC the temps jump close to 46*C. Will the GPU block add around 5*C more on my temps?
PS=> I am running a VGA Silencer on the GPU. And I do not like the hum of the fan even on low. So you can tell I am going for the silent route.
