Can a single quad rad handle ???

[Aedubber]

Well call me crazy but i just want some thoughts, running a single loop cooling a i7 940 OCed over 4ghz , Dual HD5850 GPU cards, and alsoooo the NB and SB of the board? Suggestions please, and i will be shoving this into a new case , which is the TJ07 case ... Plan is to shove quad rad below with the PSU and if i can run a double rad up top i will do it.. Lets discuess :) Wanna update my WCed setup already :shrug:

Depends on what rad, which fans, ambient temp.

GTX with 3000rpm fans, no problem.

Swifty MCR with 800rpm fans, yes problem.

If you expect constructive responses, please provide relevant information.

Well i run the Feser X-Changer rads and i like them..Unless there is better out there? I just wanna know if i can get away with just using 1 quad rad to cool down the cpu , dual gpus, and the NB & SB on the MB all in 1 loop setup.. As far as fans go i will run best setup that works with the rads, depends some rads need hi rpm and some need low.. Plus i wanna try and push anywhere from 40-50 CFM per fan

+1 to kibblers comments. A good rad with powerful fans could handle the load; might need something more powerful than 40-50 CFM fans.

Then the answer is yes. Use this (http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=59_457_667_200&products_id=20985) with 2000~3000rpm fans.

There seriously needs to be a faq. I count how many of these kinds of topics in the last few weeks? If it's in the works, great, I'd love to contribute.

The question shouldn't be "Can I run it?", which you can, but "What type of performance should I expect?", which is a little more difficult to answer. To give you an idea, I ran my QX9650 (1.55v for 4.0Ghz), two GTX280's (stock clocks), NB, SB and mosfets of a Maximus Formula all on a single Thermochill PA120.3 rad using San Ace fans at 5v. It did fine, not great performance, I mean my chip would get into the 60's-70's range under a serious load, but idled in the 40's, this with ambient of 27c (roughly). So I would say you would be fine with the current rad since Feser rads are pretty good and go with some Gentle Typhoons (1850Rpm) and make sure your expectations are not too high, i.e. trying to break a world record in overclocking.

LOL i understand how annoying it is to see the same post etc lol.. I just liek to have response first hand from knowledgable people :) .. Well right now i have the x58 classified MB , i7 940 cpu , double x for the cpu and a single x for my gtx285 vid card. and im running the yate loon fans on my rads...XSPC double res, with the dual mcp pumps, bits power comp fittings etc , you know the essentials lol.. But new rig will be coming soon..Saving up some money and doing my planning first on exactly what i need for a 100% build

Nah im not trying to do any super clocking... I ran a stability test with LinX today , cleared the 20 passes and temps were good..

Then that is your answer.

I just wanted some feedback to see if i can get away with using just a single quad rad to cool everything in 1 loop with good fans and a good rad with moderate ocing and still being stable :) Looks like i can get away with it.. SO in that case anyone wanna do some picture sharing of the setup im aiming to do?

[Meta-Prometheus]

Well, some people split all those components into two different loops. The only problem with that option is it gets very very expensive and all of a sudden you have no space left inside your case.

I suppose you could get away with a 4x120 rad. You'd have to use a rad that has multiple passes through it.
