punctured radiator with screws

i have another question, WC related so i figured i'd just stick it in here

i've got a 120.1 just to cool mobo stuff at the mo (sb,nb,mosfets), i'm going to be jigging around my loops in the next few weeks, and was wondering is it likely the 120.1 will be enough to cool 2 gpu's and south bridge?

cheers in advance :)
 
You will be pushing two graphic cards on a single rad mate, woudl recommend at least a double.

No point doing the SB either, coolest part of the mobo! Only reason to do that would be if your mobo had integrated heatpipes between NB and SB but would then still need to cool the rest. NB and Mosfets will need doing first.
 
i've already got my sb, nb and mosfets cooled, but contrary to what you say, the south bridge is actually hotter than the north bridge - the nb is at 1.45v, the south bridge is set to the lowest voltages (1.15v + 1.5v).

i'm going to pick up some jb weld today so hopefully i can stick the damaged 120.3 back in and use that for gpu's and sb/nb.
 
as it stands, at idle my nb is 29oC, and sb is 37oc... strange eh :D

both of them are on the same loop btw.

originally i was going to put the cpu and nb on one loop, leaving mosfets and sb, but due to the rampage formulas' heatpipe arrangement, i watercooled the lot :)

shame they're so low really, as i think i've hit the wall for my q9450...

out of interest, anyone know what fab process the nb and sb are likely to be on? figured i may be able to wham a load more volts through them and see if i can get it stable at a higher fsb :)
 
its only the P45's on 40nm i think (or the smaller fabrication compared to the older boards)

I ran 1.65v on my NB on my Rampage Extreme (under water) to run my Q9650 @ 4490mhz :D
 
wow that's impressive dude :)

i'm tempted to ramp up to 1.5/1.55v on my nb if it gives me 4GHz, but only if it's gonna be safe on my rampage formula...

anyone know what fab it's on?
