Hi,
I tried to get some good answers on Swedens biggest computer-forum but didn't really get any. What I want is to have a fanless water cooling system. Just have fans mounted in stand-by if I need them.
What I got to cool is:
1x i7 6700K
2x 980 Ti strix
1x motherboard
And I do use a R5 chassi. What I got in the chassi right now (thanks to some modding):
2x 280 radiator
1x 220 radiator
1x 5.25" reserovar with D5 pump
1x D5 pump with 140 res
1x 140 rad (on the back outside the chassi).
What I have ordered and aim to do:
Mount 2x480 radiators underneath my PC-desk and connect it to my cooling loop using on-off and push-fittings. So that I can easily remove them if I need to move my PC.
My plan is to mount fans on the radiators inside the chassi and have them ready, so if I need them I turn them on. But otherwise I want them off. I will also use noise-reduction carpet and use them on the pumps to reduce the noise.
What I wonder is:
1. Will 2 D5 pumps be enough for this? I did order another one so I got 3 if I need. But don't want to open the last one because then I can't refound it!
2. Wil I be able to use this loop without fans?
3. If I cover my pumps in silencing foam carpet (what is the actual word for this?) will they overheat?
Nothing in the loop is finished yet. Some parts are in place but not filled with water. So if anything sucks in this system them please tell.
Best regards
