watercooling arrangement

[phil128]

Hi all.

I've got a dual res setup with a CPU block and a motherboard block. Currently I'm thinking of having a dedicated water loop for my GPU too.

I'm not too sure if this will be the best loop:

Config one:

Res -> Rad (420mm) --> CPU --> Moboblock -->Res.

Res -> Rad (240 mm) --> Rad(140) --> GPU --> Res.

Config two:


Res -> Rad (420mm) --> CPU --> Res.

Res -> Rad (240 mm) --> Rad(140) --> Mobo block --> GPU --> Res.


I'm not too sure which config will be the best.

You don't need two rads in one loop for that. Which rads do you have already? I'd keep the 420 (if you have it) for the cpu/mobo, and get a 360 or 240 or something for the gpu.

Hi i've got an ek coolstream 420 in push pull. I'm going for a 240 in push,and another rad in push/pull 140mm. What you think is best? Thanks for your help sir

I'm intruiged to know why you are going to go with a 140mm rad and a 240 rad? Is it because that's what fits best inside your case?

I've got the haf x and im mounting my 420 rad externally above the case and a 240 rad at the top of the case internally and a 140 for the rear. so a 140 and a 240 rad both for my gpu

If I'm going to be completely honest I think that the 240 would be fine on its own for gpu.
