My EVGA was reaching 80C with the stock cooling and dumping massive amounts of heat in the case. Now I'm hovering in the mid 40's with case temps close to ambient. What do you make of that?

Water cooling is no longer just CPU. It's a system, dropping ALL the critical component temps. That's how it has to be looked at.
i agree... :T However, i just cant see it from a physical standpoint on how such a config would work. Because idealistically, were trying to get rid of 620W Peak, of heat out though a MCR220 radiator. Bill Adams tests showed to be effective around 300-400W of heat disapation. (please correct me if im wrong)

However, i think i'll wait for Nikhsub1's comment. If he can show me how it would work, then i'll follow. But from the many posts and comments ive been getting regarding radaitors. I always understood that this wasnt possible.

If marci will also addon about how this would work, i will also feel a bit relieved. I tend to trust marci's posts more deeply when it has matters of radiators and capacity. :T


Another person who i admire and look up to is MAX racer. A forum member is trying to cool a dualcore with a SINGLE G80.

Even max recomends the MCR320.
