Case Design for Liquid Cooling

[Hunter 101]

I designed this case so that you could fit a quad 120mm rad in the top in a push-pull configuration with shrouds, which IMO is the most efficient method of rad cooling. Of course, there is room for other configurations such as installing two rads, one either side and vent from the top as you suggest, or a rad sandwich, but I don't think there would be that much of a gain, if any, using these methods, but that is only my opinion. I'm sure there are examples where these configurations do perform extremely well....

we need two quads in top... and myself I am looking at needing another 2 quads below. for that I need a deeper case, I have to have, or I need two psu of say at least 1.2 kw.. to run that EVGA dual cpu mobo as well as triple set of fermi cards on stable and hi OC. I run my I975 stable at 4.5 Ghz and I am looking at doing the same if I can find two good cpus for this mobo of the right type. Given that, we are looking at what I believe is close to or round 2500 W heat.. 900 to 1000 w for the two cpus and maybe 320 to 400 per fermi card. I don't think I am far of, what do you say guys?

edit1, fixed the quote

edit2, I am using a sandwitch triple rad from Swiftech of the QP type, sandwithing them on the same input gives about 33% more cooling versus a single triple rad If I remember right.


doing what is said above with holes on top and above on a single loop daisy chained should give much more cooling than this as net result, at least in my book, unless someone have data on what you say above is the best net result.
