Single 120 radiator in a GPU + CPU watercooling loop

Greenston · Oct 16, 2015

Hi,

I'm kinda new to the whole watercooling thing and I'm not planning to do anything crazy with it anytime soon, but I just wondered:

If I'm not planning to overclock my system and I'm satisfied with normal temps, would a single 120 radiator suffice in a CPU + GPU cooling loop?
I'm not looking for heavy performance or anything, I just like how it looks and how quiet it is.

Any advice would be much appreciated, thx in advance!

Not even close. Ppl use a 120mm aio/clc for either a cpu or a gpu alone and for the smaller capability units like the h55/h60 stock voltages on most cpus are all they can reliably handle and still see decent temps. If, as it seems, you are thinking about breaking into a full custom loop, you'd be looking at at least a 240mm preferably a 360mm at minimum or you'll see liquid temps that become way to high.

I'd suggest you read the watercooling stickies in the forum, they'll have a lot more info and will leave you with a better understanding of just what you are looking at.

Ok, thank you!
