Rad/loop Q

[breathemetal]

What 120x3 rad could handle a cpu/nb/and gpu all in one loop? Just a q for my next build as I can only do 1 loop/1 rad. And I would like everything in it. I could take the NB block out if it will be to demanding.

The cpu will be a 920, and the gpu im not sure...maybe nvidias next flagship, or ati's.

if it's a Core i7, no. They run WAY to hot, especially with HT on. You'll start heating your other components with the heat from the Core i7.

it just depends how much overclocking you want to do i have seen people with 920's at 4.0 with their temps at mid 60's

but the only thing in the loop was the cpu if you add the nb and a video card in the loop you would probably be getting mid 70's which is still acceptable for i7

Hmm. I might think about getting a 2x120 for the gpu then. and running the cpu/nb off the 120x3

120x2 = more then enough for the i7.

120x3 = will allow you to undervolt your fans more and get same performance from the 120x2 with louder fans...

120x3 on the GPU sector is OVERKILL unless your SLIing..

If you dont F@H, id flip rads, and drop medium fans on the GPU... and Low fans on the CPU.

I was going to run the 120x3 with ls yates for the cpu, and get a 120x2 with mediums maybe for the single gpu. Is that okay?
