Hello everyone.
First post, and I have read as much as I can read, but I have some clarification questions.
First off, I have a Gigabyte X58A-UD3R rev 1 board, running an i7 930 at stock freqs. I plan to overclock this chip, but haven't yet done so.
I am also running a Sapphire 5850, and plan to crossfire with another as soon as I can find one.
My question is this. According to my bad math, an overclocked 930, 2 stock 5850's, and the mobo should make somewhere about 500w of heat, if all running at the same time. does that sound right?
Consider a worst case scenario of running BOINC apps, using the CPU and GPU about as hard as one would expect them to go.
If that is the case, i am planning on running 2 Swiftech MCR-320-QP's, a Swiftech Apogee XT waterblock, and whatever block I can find for my mb and gpu.
I was thinking about the MCP35x pump, with its built on res.
Any thoughts or oppinions?
Thanks guys.
