Hi, I am building a PC with the following specs:
EVGA 780i mobo
Quad Core Q9550 2.83GHz, plan to OC, but nothing extreme
Triple GTX 280 XXX OC edition in Tri-SLI
8GB DDR2-1066 RAM
Dual 300GB 10k rpm Velociraptors
1250w PSU
The case will me a CM 932 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119160 because ive heard great things about it, such as being very roomy with great airflow.
But I'm definitely worried about heat. With 3 gtx 280s, dual velociraptors, and an OC'd quad core, I know this will generate insane heat. The case already comes with 3 230mm and 1 140mm fans, but I know its not enough.
So basically, what I'm wondering is how I should air cool this rig? How many and which fans I should buy, what CPU cooler/heatsink to get, where to place fans, etc. I really appreciate if anyone can help me on this
Thank you.
Also, water cooling really is not an option I'm afraid, because it will cost ridiculous amounts($1000+) for this setup.
