enough rad

hi guys do you think a black ice sr1 240 would be enough for a 3750k and a gtx 670 4 gb

It should cut it yes

according to the black ice SR1 box I have in front of me, an SR1 240 should cope with up-to 810w.

Depends on the fan speed, but unless your aiming for silent then yes.

hahaha, at what fan speed

according to Martins, the SR1 360 dissipates 250ish watts at 2000RPM

1450rpm

I very much doubt that 810w is realistic without major fan noise, but I also reckon 250ish is very low, my old twin Zalman reserators in parallel could easily do that passively.

By way of comparison, I have a 4.5GHz i7 3820 and a GTX670 FTW cooled by a 360 Thermochill PA, and it has a pair of 500RPM scythe kaze fans with a Corsair SP120 quiet PWM in the middle and the SP120 never ramps up above 600ish RPM. The SR1 is supposed to be on par with the old Thermochill PA so a 240 SR1 should have no trouble cooling an i5 and a GTX670 with 1450RPM fans.
