OK... So I know all the basic principles of constructing a water cooling loop however I am a little uneducated on heat dump and how much rad is needed.
Everytime I think about building my new PC I'm leaning more and more towards adding my GPU into my loop.
What I would like to know is how much rad would I need for the following loop ::
i7 920 OC'd @ 4.0GHz (needs 3x120mm to istself AFAIK)
Full motherboard colling on EVGA X58 SLI LE (NB, SB, Mosfets)
ATI Radeon HD5850 (stock)
So How many x 120mm will I need...
The plan at the moment is to mount a Feser Xchanger 480 on the top of my HAF 932. I made those Radiator spacers... they have 55mm clearance above the top of the case.
Will I need another 1x120... or 2x120? The Single is easy to mount inside the top of the case using the 4 reamaining screw holes.
I will need to keep the PSU at the bottom of the case in order to route my tubing properly... therefore putting a rad at the bottom is out of the question... and therefore may prove difficult to find a convenient location for a double... but if it's needed it WILL be done.
ANY input is appreciated...
Thanks in Advance...
