How much heat does GPU add to loop?

[Rickpatbrown]

When I added my GPU into my loop, I saw maybe a 2c increase on my processor temps. I had 3 Panaflo's and I did have to turn the fans up a little bit more, but it was not bad at all.

Thanks. That's the info I was looking for. What Radiator do yo use?

I used a 120.3 Black Ice Extreme.

I'm not sure how to translate watts into temperatures.

You don't. Blocks and rads are spec'd in watts and C/W ratios.

I'll agree with thideras on this topic. With the radiator you have, so long as you put a shroud on it and have good fans+pump you'll see max an extra C or two.

With a bonnieville its less a matter of how many watts and more of how much extra resistance. while they are not the best, they are damn good.
