Hey guys,
I am currently planning changes to my Prodigy /mATX rig.
I am possibly (unless i get side swiped by something i like better) going to buy the Node 804 case.
It has what i want (almost) in the shape of water cooling options.
What i am considering is a passive 280mm rad, to sit in the top in the side of the case where the motherboard it. Due to space, and me being anal about certain things, only a 280mm in a passive configuration will be possible.
The whole loop should be apart from the 280 top rad.
1x 240 - 50/60mm - Push/pull (GT AP-15)
1x 280 - Monsta 80mm - Push/pull
Maybe a 120mm?
It will be cooling the setup from my second rig but with SLi 670.
So i5 2500k @ 5ghz + 2x GTX670 with EK blocks.
The question is, would placing a passive rad above the motherboard, help, or would it just warm up the water from the hot hardware below it?
