Feser Balance

I am trying to decide the proper balance of heat output versus cooling potential. I must decide what blocks go on what loop.

I have 2 radiators:

I also have a D-tek v2, 2 EK Mosfet (ASUS 3a) blocks, 1 NB S-MAX block, 1 SB (asus 4) block, and a DD IONE 8800GT block.

I have been unable to determine what the cooling potential of each radiator is, and I am not sure what kind of heat output I will have from each device. I have to rely upon the experience and wisdom of the xtremesystems members.

I will be overclocking everything as far as my loops/devices will allow me. My Q6600 is a VID of 1.2000 (yes!) I have an ASUS Rampage to allow me to push everything to achieve its theoretical maximum potential. The MSI 8800GT that I have was reported to be easily overclockable to 800mhz.

Assuming that I overclock everything as far as possible, and my calculated flow on each loop is at minimum ~1.6gph if I put everything on the same loop, how would you balance the blocks?

I was thinking of putting the Q6600 on it's own loop with the X-Changer 240, and putting everything else on the 360. However, I was also considering putting the Mosfets and Q6600 on the same loop, and then everything else on the 360. That would mean that the 8800gt, NB, and SB would be on the 360. It just seems to me that the 360 would be able to handle the addition of the Mosfets without breaking a sweat. If I could dedicate the 240 to the Q6600, I will be providing it with the most stable loop I could.

What does everyone think? How would you do it?

The VGA, NB, SB and mosfets wont even match the heat output of the CPU. Put the CPU on the largest RAD, by itself. I have a 9800GX2 running on a single MCR120 and it's temps dont go over 10 degrees from idle to load.

the 8800GT has a low heat output relative to other gpus.. anyway the oc'd cpu heat output should be slightly higher than the gpu. Both of these rads are great performers and they will be able to handle the load easily..

Personally i think that you should be more looking at how to split up the loops in order to optimize flow.

This is how i would do it:
cpu+mofsets (those are closer to the cpu so less tubing clutter) on the 360. The heat ouput from the mofsets should not be enough to affect your cpu overclocking.

NB/SB +8800GT +240rad (should be more than enough to handle it)

Ooops, I meant to specify that the 8800 is a GTS, not a GT. I have the MSI 8800GTS 512M that is overclocked to 678mhz by default. I want to push it as far as possible.

Flow isn't a huge issue since I will have great flow regardless of what goes on each loop.

It just seems more logical to dedicate the 240 to the CPU. That is also the radiator that will have my 2 Panaflo 115cfm fans on it. The 360 has 3 88cfm Yate Loons on it.

The X48 on the Rampage does run hot by default. Overclocking it should really bring the heat up.
