Greetings!
I'm trying to choose an efficient radiator setup to handle a P4 930 and a X1900XTX (a quick google search got me a 95W figure for the CPU and 120W for the GPU, both under load, non overclocked).
Since they're both a tad heavy on the heat dissipation I am planning to use a dual radiator configuration (CPU»Rad1»GPU»Rad2), room is not an issue since they will be placed outside the box. Some more browsing and I decided to go with a couple BlackICE Stealth's with low-rpm fans for a "silent" setup.
That said, I'm having a hard time deciding on the radiators' size. Will two 240mm (dual) be enough? Or even 120mm? I see some people use the triple version for the CPU alone, is that much required?
Apologies in advance if any of these questions sound noobish
