Watercooling advice needed.

[jdbnsn]

I have recently pruchased everything I need to set up a watercooling system (Thanks Paul!). My question is this: With a loop cooling two ATI 1900's and the CPU, would I need more than one rad (80mm I think)?

[Spawn-Inc]

i have no physical experience on water cooling but from what i learned i would say no. for my setup, once i get it, its gonna cool 8800GTX, and a CPU with a thermochill 120.3.

You might run a little hot in a dual gpu and cpu setup, but it shouldn't be anything horrific if you don't do massive OC & have a decent fan. I would suggest a 120mm rad at least, possibly 2x120 for that setup.

I would agree a dual 120 rad would be the best option but if you havent got room you could try fitting 2 seperate 120 rads.

id also put the rads like this, rad, pump, cpu, gpu, rad, gpu,and back, or for better consistency on both cards,rad pump cpu rad gpu gpu back

I'm going to be using a single 120mm and a 80mm radiator to cool my C2D E6600 and ASUS 8800GTX.

Okay, thanks for the tips!

No problem we're here to help.

Like I told ya in the PM (this is more for the others), that radiator is a Dual Pass 120mm, much more efficient than say a single pass 120mm--it cools off a larger quantity of water at once, since the water stays in it longer.

If you can fit it, get yourself a 120mm fan shroud. This helps remove the "shadow" air flow area caused by the stator rotor (center hub) of the fan by giving it a little distance from the rad, and causing more turbulence.
