Hi all,
When adding a watercool GPU (waterblock and extra radiator) to a PC that already has a CPU waterloop, is there any benefit to giving the GPU its own loop rather than adding to the existing CPU loop?
CPU: 8700k @ 4.9ghz running an external Alphacool Eiswand (360mm XT45 on push pull). Will delid next month and try 5.0ghz.
GPU: Zotac 1080 GTX mini overclocked. Aboout to add waterblock, 240mm NexXos XT45 and a dc-lt 3600 pump.
I feel that the Eiswand has plenty in reserve for the current CPU cooling. Will the 240mm radiator look after the GPU cooling well enough on its own or should I try and loop in some of the extra cooling available from the 360 Eiswand?
To be clear, I already have all the parts. Any views welcomed.
Cheers,
Steven_RW
