Is EK H3O enough?

xxShinobixx · 13 Dec 2011 at 19:06

I'm thinking of replacing my corsair H70 with the EK H30 with 120 rad. However i would also want to cool my 3GB phantom gtx 580 and i'm not sure if the pump or the radiator are enough to have both in one loop. Any thoughts?

Be enough just for the CPU, but not for the GPU in the loop as well. I would guess you'd need a 240 or above rad for both CPU and GPU, but I'm no watercooling expert (though I am getting the itch to do it). See cleecoo and the guys in the watercooling subforum, they should be able to spec you for everything your ever going to need

Edit: This is at the bottom of the Ek H3O product page:

It is reccomended to use this kit for CPU cooling only

I'm using an EK H30 240 kit to cool my 2500k at 4.4 GHz and my Nvidea 560 GTX in the same loop and it's doing a cracking job. I can run my cpu at 4.8GHz and after hours of gaming the temps are still fine.
