Hey this is my first atempt at watercooling and I am going to be fitting a 480 RAD in the roof of my 800d :D So I was just curious as to know what would be the best RAD for 8x1850 GT's in push pull exhausting out the top of the case. I don't know what would be the best here low FPI? Ok so thnx keep in mind i'm still a noob to this WC business THNX :D
Also does anyone know when PerformancePc is going to get in those
Edit: Screwed up title oops. Can't fix.

Sorry hehe. When I say 1850GT's I mean the Scythe Gentle Typhoons that spin at 1850 RPM.

Probably any 4x120mm rad. Those fans are going to push pretty well and with push pull you will probably not have to worry about to much pressure loss. I was running a GTX480 with 8 Enermax enlobal fans and those only spin at 800-900rpm. I was cooling a Q9550@3.616GHZ and GTX280 with no airconditioning all summer with no problems. Peak temps were about 65c and you will be able to move alot more air then I could.

Where you located?
There is a online shop selling those for $13.99 + shipping. Though they only ship CONUS.

Push/Pull of these can handle Higher FPI. Its all about the noise you want...

It's more to "watta ya think this of rad and fan setup would be like with no info on heatload and my ambients and parts in the loop would do"?
Not enough info. No input from me.
Im rocking a HW Labs 480GTX with 8 x 1450rpm GT's. It's quiet, very efficient and lots of headroom for better cooling with a simple fan swap if needed :up:
