WC Question

[Pr0pH3cY3142]

I am planning on adding a watercooled setup to my system. I haven't done one for a few years so I wanted to get some opinions on my planned setup. I will be running 2x GTX 580 and an i7 920 (future upgrade to Sandy Bridge performance processor) in the loop with a reservoir, Laing DDC Rev. 3.25 pump, and at least a 240 radiator.

A) Will this pump be sufficient to power this loop?

B) Will the 240 radiator be sufficient to cool it? I am also able to add an additional 120 radiator in the case as well.

Thanks

This pump will push through the blocks but you need bigger RAD's,what type of case are you going to use?

You will likely need a 240 rad for each GPU and the CPU...or equivalent area of 6-120mm rads...depending on rads and fans used.

That's a good pump and would be fine in that loop as long as you maintain good flowrates and low restriction blocks...but that's with any pump, really. Are you going to get/use a top for that pump, or a separate res?

What case do you have? You are likely going to have to figure out how to mount radiators...

Thanks for the responses.

I have a thermaltake v9 case. After some more thought i think i can do some easy case mods and add a 360 rad and two 120's. Think this will be sufficient?

Yes I am getting a top for the pump.

you can skeep the top and get res/pump combo for that pump,for the rad's how about;
