Low noise 7970 and cpu

Last response: in Overclocking
Share

So I own 2 rads, I want to install them in my HAF 932 to watercool a 7970 and a cpu 125w.

But hopefuly in future it also is able to cool 2x 7970 + cpu and fans only running 500-800rpm.

The one I currently have is 240: 276 x 123 x 47mm

I also own a 360 rad 396 x 120 x 45 mm

My goal is silen operation so 500-800rpm gentle typhoon or slip stream as they have nice low noise.

My current rig looks like this:

If you want to start WCing, get a WC case. Even a Fractal Arc can support a full size 240. If you want to go extreme, Cosmos 2 or the M8 from Caselabs will do fine.

That 240 rad could cool a CPU with moderate OC because IMO, anything under 50mm isn't worth it against a NH-D14. The 360 could cool the 7970 but with low OC.

Well as the picture suggest I already started watercooling ;) 

the Haf 932 also supports 360 in top, Ive yet to decide which one I have externally.

I'm considering either having rear rad or modify the front of 932 and put the 2nd rad there.

932 is good enough for any extreme watercooling :p  .i heard people doing 1Ghz+ on stock cooler of HIS HD7970.a 360 rad will definitely do more than 'low OC' :wahoo:

What I meant by low OC is just a few hundred mhz and some moderate volt adjustments. You really didn't need to say this.

The rads he has will be fine- I don't know that TDP has been released for those cards yet, though. Either way, I don't see there being much of an issue, here other than people tossing around new cases to buy.

Any case can be a watercooling case with the right tools, patience and good planning.

Might I ask out of these two cases would be easier to watercool Rubix? I asked in a diff thread and got no response, storm trooper or the 600t white be nicer to setup water-cooling in? I know you stated above that any case cam do it, but between these two specifically is the storm trooper a larger tower? One last thing, I'm torn between the Swiftech h20 220 $350 kit or get by using a H100 until I get a 2nd 7970 card?

both cases are capable of watercooling.but remember nothing is 'ready to fit'.modding is needed.H20 220 is a better choice cause it's like a full loop.whereas H100 is a closed loop.both are good.
