Water Cooling Radiator Question

I currently have a Aquaxtreme MP-05 block, Swiftech MCP655 pump, Swiftech MCRES Micro res and one Black Ice Stealth 120 Radiator.

I have a x1900xt, which I was thinking of watercooling. Before I get the block for the video card, I was wondering if it is possible to run an E6600 (potentially overclocked a lot) and an x1900xt with just one radiator and still get cool temperatures?

The reason I ask this is because I do not have the room to upgrade to a bigger radiator.

Just for reference, my cpu runs at 30c idle.

set 2 fans on to the rad in push pull it should handle it...

Very hard to tell, you have a very nice WB and pump but without dual rad support...
I hate to do this, but have you seen the Thermaltake Aquabay M2? It fits in two 5.25 bays, since you lack of space for a second rad.

You won't get good air flow with a bay radiator, don't even go there.
I use outside air to cool my radiator (NY is chilly right now), and my CPU temp is 21C (69F), won't even hit 80F under load. It'll get cooler too, I haven't had it on but 10 minutes.
One thing I'll do this weekend is insulate my resevoir, my sig is old, it runs way cooler now.

Okay here is the problem.

If I mount a double radiator from the top 4 holes, it will hang down and block my video card slots. If i were to mount a double from the bottom 4 holes, the top will go over the exit fan for my psu.

Would that be bad if the radiator blocks the psu exit?

If you don't understand me, I will provide pictures.

Your best bet would be to mount your rad on the top of your case. Drill a couple of holes for your tubing, secure the rad, and you're good to go.

With the Swiftech Radbox, I have mine hanging over my expansion slots and still have room to plug the only thing that it actually blocks in (my sound cable.) There is about 2 1/2" between my case and the bottom of the rad so that is good. I idle at 19C, load at 26C with a dual 120mm rad.

Lol, I think the sleekness would increase with rad mounted anywhere visible. But sure as long as the Radbox gets the job done.

Sorry I was away for the weekend.

Anyways, that would be awesome. I never thought of mounting it on the otherside of the case. That would be a great idea. Although, that would be the biggest "mod out of all of the possible solutions. It would hid the radiator, but have it visible if i wanted it to be.

Yeah.

The whole point of the watercooling (for me) was to get quiet fans and have cool temperatures. I am planning on getting these fans Scythe
Do they put out enough CFM, because they are near dead silent.

Also what do you mean by shower rod holders?

I was trying to think in my mind how to mount the radiator and fans and what to mount them with?

Any ideas?

Yeah. I was looking into those also.

Should I mount the fans against the case or the radiator against the case?

If I mount the fans against the case, they will have no air to pull.

I guess I have.

I will. Just got the Silenx fans.

However, I am having second thoughts about getting the radiator yet.

I think I might wait until the R600 or later to get a new watercooled graphics card. Then I would need the dual radiator to cool both the graphics and cpu.

Until then though I think I will be just fine running the cpu with a silenx fan on the single radiator.

Well it was running at 29 idle with the stock NZXT case fan. However, right now I am replacing the loop with some red PrimoChill ice coolant, installing some new (safer) spring clamps, and going to install my new Silenx fans! Once, that is completed I will reinstall the loop, post pictures and overclock. I think I should be able to easily reach 3.0ghz.

Do you have xfire or aim?

My screen name for both is floge03.

Darn. You should get them both.

According to Speedfan, my something on my P5W, not sure what (called fan 3) runs at 129c. I assume it is either the NB or the SB because both are burning hot to the touch.

However, in ASUS AI Booster it says my system is running at 40c. Any idea what speedfan is telling me is so hot?

I checked another asus program called PC Probe II and it says my motherboard temperature is 40c also. So maybe it is something the matter with Speedfan, im not sure.
