I want do do a loop but...

I want do do a loop but I don't know what is what i know the sizes but the onething that stumps me is working out if one radiator (Dimensions: 323 x 29 x 142) would it be able to cool an i7 5820k and a amd nano? if not a thicker radiator or another radiator?
Thanks Joshua

Which radiator is it? Most of them have a standard size which is dictated by the number of fans it uses, eg 240mm, 360mm or 280mm.

A 360mm radiator should be fine with a 5820k and nano providing good airflow and you don't go nuts with the overclock.

It would be a 280mm rad I don't like overcooking.. I would have the nano to the fury x clock speed so it basically a fury then.. So 2 280rads then? Thanks Joshua

The more rads you can get the better as it will allow for lower temps or lower noise or both.

What case are you using and which radiator are you looking at in particular?

Josh_4000 · 6 Mar 2016 at 15:03

2*Copper Radiator - 280 mm rads because that is the max my case will fit. case is Aerocool Aero 1000 I already have this only had it 1 year

would like a case labs case.

Thanks

That'll be fine.

General rule of thumb is 1 x 120mm per component to be cooled plus 1 extra.

With your 2 rads equating to 4 x 140mm you have more than enough.

Case fits one 280mm in the front and one 280mm in the roof. As long as you're careful of thickness they should fit fine and be plenty to cool your cpu and a nano - make sure you get capable fans

could i have from pump to cpu block then to top rad with corsair sp140 and then to gpu then to front rad with corsair af140 or should i use sp140 here too? i thought af140 in the front because the mobo needs some cool air too but then again af140 might not be able to push enough air through the rad but the af140 can't move as much air any suggestions?
Thanks Joshua

IMO better off using all the same fans as it's easier to get the fan control right.

+ high static pressure fans will push through the rad better, so there will be higher air flow coming out the back of the rad, and thus more air flow over the mobo anyway (maybe. I'm pretty much making this up tbh lol).

Stick to SP140's on all the radiators in my opinion too. Can you fit an AF series as an exhaust on the back?
