Rad for CF 7950?

RichH · 14 Aug 2012 at 16:18

Hi Guys,

I am probably going to do a GPU only loop to cool my 7950s and leave the CPU on air.

Ideally i would like them to be silent or very close, and no hotter than 50 degrees under load at stock.

What sort of rad area am i looking at to achieve this?

I have a 600t case, which means I have the following options:

Top of case:
Thin 240 (no modding)
or
Thin 360 (use case cutting required)

Front of case:
Square 200
or
Thick 240 (heavy modding required)

I was sort of planning or just starting with the 360 (EX360 or similar) and seeing what temps are like. Is this hopelessly optimistic?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Anyone got any idea?

square 200 will be a very good choice at the front
360 would be better than the 240 in the top but you might get away with the 240 but you might need fans at close to 2000rpm which won't be silent, but you'd only need them on high when gaming so over the noise of games it wouldn't be too much of an issue

Sorry, do you mean 200 + 360, or just one or the other?

Thanks
