help - water cool - Intel Core 2 Quad Extreme

[Guest]

Hi there,

I am going to build myself a water cooled PC, I quite new to this method, and would very much appreciate an experts opinion.

The CPU is a Intel Core 2 Quad Extreme Edition QX9650 "LGA775 Yorkfield" 3.00GHz 1333FSB……

And to keep it cooled I am thinking of using:

1 x XSPC RS360 120mm Radiator (attached to the top of Coolermaster RC-1100 case)

3 Fans attached to Radiator
- Dimensions: 120 x 120 x 25mm
- Rated speed: 2200 RPM ±10%
- Air flow: 88.00 CFM

and water pump + tank: 750 lph:
(http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-011-XS)

Do you think a single radiator would be enough? Would stacking 2 layers of 3 fans onto the single radiator make much difference?

I have considered using external cooling methods, but wanted to try and keep all the cooling contained within the single case.

Many Thanks.

You need to post over in the cooler and heatsinks section:
