Id like to see what people think, if this is a good iea or not.
If im running from a storm cpu cooler down to a swiftech mcw50-t (upgraded to 172watt), would it be a good ida to add an additional radiator in this part of the loop or not? I would think it could only be ideal to have the water down to the coolest temp, and remove the large amount of heat generated by the cpu (or at least SOME). My main radiator on top would be a Black Ice Xtreme III, so I believe I should have anough cooling capability.
Heres what hardware I have and the water gear I want to use
Chieftech Dragon series case
OCZ Powerstream 520 SLI PSU
AMD Opteron 170
DFI LANParty UT SLI-DR Expert
2x1 GB pc4000 Mushkin Redline
Sapphire Radeon x1800XT
For water, ...
Swiftech storm (cpu)
Swiftech MCW50-t (upgraded to 172watt peltier (gpu)
Swiftech MCP655 pump
Black Ice Xtreme III Triple 120mm Radiator
Meanwell 320-12 PSU
Here are the two different designs Im trying to describe, If a visual might help.
Single Radiator system
Additonal BIX added
Basically I just wondered any pros or cons to this setup.
Thanks
