This is my first post yay!
Okay, I'm planning on a new build. Not going completely crazy on high end components, but I would like to go i7. I have an AMD Phenom II X4 940, and I would like to be with a Intel Core i7 920 by the end of summer.
I plan on water cooling the motherboard, Asus P6T Deluxe V2, i.e. Mosfets, NB, and SB. However I want to also water cool the CPU and GPU. I will be getting the TJ07 as a gift within the next few weeks. I already have my a CPU block, Koolance 345, and my GPU block for my 4870 X2, XSPC 4870 X2. I will be using EK blocks for the motherboard. I already have one pump from Swiftech, and a BI GTX 360 Rad. I'm not worried about the noise with the BI GTX series as I already own one.
1.) My question is how should I handle the cooling of the blocks? Should I use two separate loops? Examples :
Mosfets >> GPU >> SB >> Res >> Pump >> BI GTX 360?
CPU >> NB >> Res >> Pump >> BI GTX 240?
Or one complete loop :
CPU >> Mosfets >> NB >> GPU >> SB >> Res >> Pump >> BI GTX 360 >> BI GTX 240?
2.) Do you think that a BI GTX 240 will be able to properly cool both the CPU and NB in the same loop? I know for a fact I won't be able to fit two 360's down there of any make. If it can't properly cool both, should I set the CPU only on that loop and add the NB to the other loop with the GPU and Mosfets etc...?
3.) Would a 120 Rad of any make cool the i7 by itself?
