I've been struggling with PQ curves, head loss curves and C/W curves, but I just can't get there. What I want to know is, with the following setup, (keeping in mind that quiet is a big consideration) can I get temps in the neighborhood of 35c idle and 44c load:
overclocked A64 3200 (Venice I hope) - expect about 204 Watts to be generated (overclocked)
Cooled with:
MCW6002 - (CPU only)
Aqua Extreme 50Z
Swiftech Bay res
Tygon 1/2" ID tubing I'd guess about 5 feet
mid-tower case, fairly unrestrictive loop, no 90 degree angles or kinks, 1/2" fittings, good airflow through case (dual lower front 80mm fans, 80mm rear exhaust fan, 120mm bottom oriented PSU fan).
Single 120mm heater core (going with hc for price consideration)
single shrouded Panaflo L1A 120mm fan at 12V
The big question is whether the single heater core with the L1A Panaflo will give me temps like that.
Alternatively,
single heater core with panaflo M1A 120mm fan
or
double heater core with panaflo L1A fans
or am I way off base?
Edit: room temp is about 21c.
