i know these things don't go together but do you think its possible?

im always moving my pc about you see,
thinking of cooling just the gfx card with a 120, but i don't want super noisey fans on it either

im guessing all this stuff been tried before so thought id ask you guys

What GPU you running and what temp is it running at in gaming made or under heavy load. with out this information there isn't much ppl can replay to.

Most GPUs run hotter than a lot of CPUs so you need to be very careful.

Gpu block, 120.1 rad and 1 litre of water weighs about 3kg. So put 3kgs worth of bags of sugar in your case and see if you can lift it about.

yeh the case on its own weighs about that, id want put it in a lian li matx
i could maybe get a thin 240 in there with 2 fans on 1 side and only single on the other
or do the big fat 120's cool as good as the smaller 240?
and could you get away with a really little amount coolant if its a very short loop?

thanks for the help^^

U won't need a litre if ur using a 120.1 or 120.2 in a short loop, i use less than 2 litre's on my system and that has the equivelent of 2x 120.4 rads and has cpu and 2 gpu's in the loop.

1 litre will be enough

For slim rads, look at the XSPC EX rads
