Hi guys,
I'm helping a friend design a water cooling solution for his PC..
i'm trying to design something that would be pretty effective but i'm not sure what would be more practical or better idea etc..
basically it's 1 quad core loop
and 2 4870X2's running in crossfire...
cooling system should be able to handle all 8 cores @ 100% load... (not Overclocked)
the main reason for this setup, is because it's running Unix/Linux and the drivers are non existant and the fans run 100% on both cards 24/7 so we want a quiet cool machine
i'm drawn up something I was thinking of doing..
i'm not sure if I should completly split them or share 1 radiator and 1 resevoir..
hence why i'm looking for advice..
Should I have 2 seperate feeds from the Resevoir to each pump? (seems logical)
would it be better to have 2 smaller rads instead of 1 beast? and make 2 completely seperate loops?
if the whole thing doesn't fit in teh case (it's a full tower tho) it's not the end of the world..
model numbers refer to danger den products
let me know what you guys think
TIA
