Will my parts work for I7

[ante_ante]

Have my old stuff that i used on my E8600 and 4870. But now i have done an upgrade to a I7 920 and 4870x2 instead. So just wondering if i need to buy some new parts or just roll on the oldies ??

Swiftech D5
D-tek Fuzion V1 + nozzle if needed( Waiting on new s1366 mountkit )
EK Fullcover 4870x2 ( Will order soon )
Thermo PA120.2
Alphacool Nexxus Pro 3x120
Swiftech Micro Res V1
Using 1/2"

So what u say ?

Loop will be like this Res - Pump - Dual - Cpu - Tripple - Gpu - Res

I'd say try it. The 120.2 may be a bit on the mall side though for an i7. These things do put out some heat when they are loaded. I'm a more rad more fan kind of person.

The trick is finding somebody with that same setup that has ran it, and that's gonna be hard to do as there are only a handful of people running i7's and water, and out of those every setup is different that I've seen so far.

I have a feeling you might need more radiator though. Hopefully someone will see this and respond.

The i7 puts off ALOT of heat. I have mine at 1.4v and it is about 28C idle and 55C fully loaded after about an hour. I have a Laing D5 vario, Thermochill PA120.3 with 6 medium speed Yates Loon's in push/pull setup.

So I think a 3 fan radiator at least is needed.

Also, I have two 4870X2's in a loop with an identical rad/fan setup. With this cooling setup I get some pretty high temps. GPU's can get to 60C under heavy load. I think your system will put too much heat in for your setup. I would advise keeping the GPU and CPU loop separate. The 120.2 should work OK for the CPU, but not great. Don't expect 4+ GHz on that setup.

Okey !!

Maybe i should try to get me an TC PA120.3 instead of the dual. And my setup do 4.2+ on just AIR :)

wow, you got 4.2 on air. Pretty good
