2nd Rad in the loop?

[Cotti]

Hi all, Im using the setup in my sig and I want to add a second rad to help cool the quad a bit, the setup at the moment runs rad>res>pump>cpu>gpu. do you think I should put it after the pump or bettween the cpu and gpu? the quad is running high 60's and the gpu is running 45 both at load.

Put it between gfx and cpu for the best results.

Won't make any significant difference placing it between selected components.

Position it to keep the tubing runs short and kink free.

In a closed loop system, many, many tests have shown that it doesn't matter what order you put your rads or blocks etc in, it won't affect temps noticeably at all.

Just put the 2nd rad where it's convenient and that won't entail long lengths of extra tubing, which will have an impact on flow and a higher overall negative affect on your temps.

Is it running in the high 60's at stock or overclocked?

 

[Cotti]

Its in the high 60's clocked yeah Im gona push it a little further when I have another rad in. I just dont like things getting much past 70 if I can help it

 

[SpudMaster]

whats it clocked at though? quads arent exactly known for running cool

Its at 3.2 hitting 68c after a night of orthos I know this is pretty safe temp but I have plenty of volts left to play with as Im only at 1.325 at the moment. I just think the 1 P120.2 is struggling to keep up at the moment.
