OK, first off, am I doomed to fail if I try to cool a 4870x2 and Phenom II X6 1055T @ 3.8GHz using a 240mm and 120mm rad?
My plan was to go Res/Pump -> CPU -> 120mm -> 4870x2 - 240mm -> Res/Pump.
I figure(d) that the CPU shouldn't be getting that hot under load (Phenom II max temp ~60C?) so a 120mm rad should lower the water temp enough so that when it hits the 4870x2 it's cool enough to be effective. I was then hoping the 240mm rad would cool it enough before it went back to the Res/Pump and then onto the CPU again.
However due to the positioning of the rads (240mm at the top (pull), 120mm at the bottom (push), in a CM 690 II case), I'm wondering if there might be a better sequence that would also make the routing easier.
Thanks.
