Add another rad??

[dfour]

I have always been a single rad person and have a tendancy to think that a lot of people have way to may rads in there rigs for the cooling they need.

I have an original NZXT tempest case wheich can house a 120.2 slim rad in the top of it. I use a pa120.2 externally with 4 fans in push/pull (always used thermochill rads) but they dont make a slim rad (and probably never will) so was thinking ofthe new XSPC EX240 120mm Radiator @ 275mm thick should fit the bill. Im upgrading my single wc 6950 to a 6990 and adding a NB/mosfet cooler to my CH 5 with my phenom 2 965 @ 3.9. Im sure the PA should cope with the extra heat but thinking a second rad will help.

Basically is adding another rad to help cool all this justify the extra money and setting up I will have to do ??

120.2 cools what? your cpu only? that wont cut it for cooling both a cpu and a high end GPU especialy if u overclock.

Basically the rule of thumb is that for each component u want to coool. u need 120.2 each.

u can sometimes get away with a triple rad for cooling a high end gpu and cpu like me but thats the minimum.

The 120.2 cools my overclocked cpu and my unlocked 6950 atm with no trouble. Thermochill F.T.W.

If ur temps are where u want them to be then don't bother.
