Hello All, Got my first loop completed. As of right now I am running these Parts.

Swiftech MCR220-QP Radiator
MCP655 Pump
Yate Loon D12SL-12 Qty 2
XSPC Delta V3

I would like to down the line add a GPU Block for a single 3870 Card but may end up doing it off a second loop not sure the radiator can handle it.. Or do the chipsets on this board (asus Crosshair) if i can find the blocks.

What would be the next Loop you could request...
Thanks
Ron

How about some pics of your new setup. Always makes a thread more interesting;)

you can get a second MCR220 and a gpu block and through that into the same loop for cheaper then a second loop.

but a second loop would be best.

got any pics?

A 3870 doesn't make much heat. I can't recommend anything till you tell us what your cooling and how your setup is done.

I can tell you I bought a 3870 from a forum member that I will not name here bet that sun of a gun ran as high as 110c before I took the thing out and use it as a coaster, so yes a 3870 can run hot

Yes a 3870 can run hot, but not what I meant.

I meant the actual heat wattage put out in comparison of ...say a 4870x2.

The heat the OP would have to cool.

Very true,

And for all we know the OP is cooling a super "hot" SEMPRON or Celeron in that system, because we have no specs and no PICS!!!

C'mon man!?! :)
