Adding another 480

[jinxpad]

Adding another 480 to my current loop... I should be ok... right?


Current loop

1 x 360 GTX
1 x 140 EK
Dual D5
CPU + GPU + RAM currently in Loop


Current temps:

GTX480 55oc @ full load
CPU 65-70 @ full load


CPU temps have started to climb a little over the past few weeks, only really hits 70 when I run GW2, but I don't run into stability issues, maybe a nice clean out of blocks and a change of fluid (been nearly a year now) should bring initial temps down. Was just wondering what kind of changes I could expect by adding an additional 480.


Any thoughts?

i wouldn't.

if your temps are getting tht high with the cpu atm I would add another rad.

I wouldn't let the cpu get over 60C for long durations

What case have you got?

I run my core i7 860 @4ghz, with my 2 480s oced 850/1900 and cpu is around 74c and cards 55c.

Thats using a RX360 rad on the top of the 800d and alphacool 240mm on the bottom.

You could run it with that setup, but with no overclocks. 60mm 360 and a 60mm 120 rad would be ok.

Decided against it, I could see the extra GPU easily adding an extra 10-15oC maybe on my current loop. Will just wait for the 7 kepler cards and see what's around then.

Thanks for the comments guys
