MCP655-b going to be enough?

[vulcZ]

Swiftech Apogee XT for my CPU, EK FC5970 for my GPU(s). I'm running a TJ-09 so space is somewhat limited. I have a dual 120 rad up top and plan on adding a 2nd rad (single 120) on the back of the case. Do you guys think a single 655-b will suffice for this or will it be too much strain on it? I wasn't sure if adding a 2nd radiator was going to affect performance or not. I decided to go with a 2nd rad because I didn't think a dual 120 rad would be enough for my CPU/GPU :/

While on topic, I hear a lot of people talking about reservoirs but no one ever mentions the MCRES rev.2 anymore. Is this thing crappy? lol it's what I plan on using ._.

Thanks!

If you already have that pump, imho it will be enough. If you just plan to buy some pump, some DDC might be better choice both performance and smaller size wise. Adding rad should impact flow only little bit (rads usually are very unresistive compared to waterblocks).

Your pump is more than enough. Your main concern should be the rads an not the pump...

As in, they might not be sufficient enough to cool my GPU/CPU? Or because it's 2, it might restrict flow too much? The problem is that unless I mod my case, I don't think I can easily fit a single 3x120rad in there. I'm not going for champion level OC's I'd be happy with 4.2-4.4 on my CPU 24/7.

This is the loop I had in mind...

Pump >> dual 120 rad >> GPU >> single 120 rad >> CPU >> reservoir

i was running a single D5 vario and MCR420+320 res and dtek v1. i eventually added an old d4 i found in my crap box and it honestly didnt flow much extra with dual pumps

The swifty micro res is old but still a great little res i've owned it but got sick of it coz everyone has the dam thing lol, Why dont you just go for 1 tripple rad and mount it on the back since your somewhat limited?? Preferably a Mcr320 would be your best choice..

Well mainly due to cost, but I'll have to explore that option I think. I was trying to keep everything in the case because of where my PC is, but I'm sure I can work things out.

[Johnny87au]

Well i'd rather have one tripple then a few single's thats for sure, 1 tripple would yield better temps and mounting it outside would yield better temps also it would be closer to ambient's..

You can fit a triple in most cases with a little modding...heck I got a triple and quad in mine

I love my MCP655-b, it still going strong 3+years later. I typically run it at almost the lowest setting through Swiftech MW60 VGA Block, Enzotech CPU block SCW-REV.A(prior was Apogee GT).

If it has the little red dial, it's not a 655-b. . .those are lock at speed setting 4 on the vario.

Yeah, red dial. I thought it was 655 B, thanks for the correction .
