Res size

[Spawn-Inc]

does it matter what size res you have?

i want to cool a E6600 and 8800GTX with a Swiftech APOGEE GTX and a Swiftech STEALTH GeForce® using a thermochill 120.3 and Swiftech MCP655. would this res be fine?

Swiftech MCRES-MICRO™ Reservoir


and what fans are the best(middle to high end range) for cooling that are cheap?

If it takes forever to reach equilibrium then technically its cooler....

If it takes forever to reach equilibrium then technically its cooler....Forever? More like a few minutes. :beer:

ok so what about brand of fans? which brands are best. and do you need a shroud or not?

Depends how big the res is.... if its swimming pool size then it will take forever.

At that size however the reservoir is acting as your radiator. Thats why that works ;).

Time for your rad to point out the window and blow all that heat away? :shrug:

Speaking of which, has anyone ever tried to duct their rad out a window?

[Spawn-Inc]

i haven't, i'm gonna have my pc in my basement in a nice 19C temp or 66F.

[UBERCOOL]

Never ducted the warm air out, but I have ducted air in during the winter...

Edit: To answer your original question, that res will be fine. And you will be happy with those panaflows.
