Hi,
Current rig is EVGA Classified with only the CPU cooled with Thermochill 120.2 and a MCP655 pump with EK top. Bought a second hand EK chipset block and a Feser 120.4 with GentleTyphoon 1450 fans. Thinking of adding the HD 5970 with a waterblock soon. Tubing size is 7/16 and 5/8 tygon.
Would the Feser 120.4 with GT 1450 and MCP655 pump able to cool the CPU, NB, SB, GPU?
Sequence: Res > Pump > Rad > CPU > NB SB > GPU > Res

You should be able to pull it off. I don't think the chipset block would produce a lot of heat, and that feser should be able to handle the heat of the gpu and cpu.
If you're a bit worried, then throw in the thermochill as well.

So its Ok

If I utilise my Thermolchill 120.2, how would this config look
RES > PUMP > RAD 120.4 > CPU > NB SB > RAD 120.2 > GPU > RES

The order doesn't really matter as long as you have res > pump. Hook it up however is easiest in your case with your setup with the least tubing possible.

*looks at avatar*... :rolleyes:
Lawl, all jokes aside, you're absolutely right, if you have the rad, why not use it? (unless you need it in another build of course)
