PA120.2 cooling gfx and cpu

Just wondering how well the above rad would cool a 8800gts and a overclocked core2duo?

Should handle it fine, I've had a quad and a 8800GTX on one before without any problems.

ive got one cooling my parts in sig. Works a treat

works nicely with my 6800gt + c2d e6400.

This is good to know for me - might be doing the same.

Cheers Jokester

Might have to run the fans at higher V/Speed to have it cool pending abiant temps!

No room for a PA120.3?

Should have no problems. Got an e6600 @ 3.1Ghz and 2 7800 GTs in SLi and temps are fine.

Hey Pete - noticed your sig hehe.

Got panaflo's mate so should be alright.

Looking at getting a Vapo LS and getting it all modified with chilly1 etc. and then have a Lian Li anodized inside and out as well as the Vapo. Then its just PA120.2 just for the R600 when its out.

Still wont be as cool as your 7 loops - in terms of looks may I add

With which fans? Core2Duo overclocked to what speed with what voltage? With what pump?

Without answers to the above, no-one can give any form of valid advice... heatload isn't quantifiable due to lack of info regarding level of overclock. Airflow required to remove heatload isn't quantifiable as you haven't mentioned what fans you intend to use. Flowrate isn't quantifiable as you haven't mentioned what pump you intend to use.

Max power consumption = max heatload (approximately)

Therefore, use http://extreme.outervision.com/psucalculator.jsp to quantify heatload (only select the items being cooled and the pump, and knock 38 off the total). Once that's done, reference the chart below to ascertain which fans will provide the answer that you want... and which ones won't. Assume flowrate to be between 5 and 6lpm assuming you choose the "correct" pump (D5 or DDC Ultra).

Pf H = Panaflo FBA12G12-H1A - 105cfm, 6.8mmH2O, 41.5dBA @ 12v
1212M = Delta WFB1212M - 72.4cfm, 3.4mmH2O, 34dBA @ 12v
Nexus = Nexus D12SL-12 - 36.8cfm, 22.8dBA @ 12v
