Hey guys, been reading for a couple months on a bunch of forums, this one in particular. I just got my first pc a couple months ago and I'm now getting interested in overclocking it since a couple days ago Crysis 3 beta beat the **** out of my cpu. Rig specs:
Haf 912 - Upgrading to Thermaltake Chaser MK-i when I decide on a AIO or custom.
Asus GTX 560 Direct CUII
M5a97 (regular)
AMD FX-8140 Black Edition (unlocked)
1000w OCZ Gold certified
256gb OCZ Agility 4
2tb Barracuda 7200rpm 64mb cache
16gb Corsair Vengeance 1866 9-10-9-27
Now that we have that out of the way I'll list the gear I've gathered so far for my wc build I hope to do by March break.
EK Supremecy CPU block, not going with the Koolance version that beat it because it isn't very *future proof*. Don't get on me for that, I know nothing is truly future proof.
Bitspower 150 Ice Red Res
Swiftech XP 360 Radiator, from what I've heard my Chaser has limited space.
3/8" 1/2" Primoflex LRT tubing
Alphacool fatboys G1/4" 3/8"
Bitspower G1/4" 3 way female adapter (T-Line)
Sunbeam Rheosmart 30w 6 Channel Fan Control
Enzotech Plug for drain http://www.frozencpu.com/products/1...lack_BNPH-ID38-G14.html?id=Igsn3jRT&mv_pc=151
2 IandH Silver Kill Coils
3 Scythe AP-15
Swiftech MCP35x
Now time for math. My fan controller I picked out is rated for 30w per channel and a max output of 12v. The max current from the 3 Gentle Typhoons is represented by equation:
Watt = Current x Voltage
W = .53 x 12
W = 6.36
3 fans = 6.36 x 3 = 19.08
So my fan controller should be able to run all fans on my rad using a 3pin to x3 pin adapter hooking them all up to one channel, correct?
EDIT: I know this isn't what they run at all the time, just on startup.
Swfitech MCP35x = 1.5A 12V
W = 1.5 x 12
W = 18
I can also run my pump off of a seperate channel if I wanted to correct? Reason I want to do this is that I've read that if you change pump speeds it aids in bleeding the system.
Yes, I am using distilled + the coils.
Feedback is much appreciated guys, should have mentioned this earlier but I wasn't planning on watercooling for quite some time but I got that tall heatspreaders on my vengeance so I'm pretty limited. In my stupidity I bought that new case for $65 on sale just because it was HUGE and had a lot of fan mounts.
On a completely unrelated note where do I edit my signature?
