Hi there,

would a single 120 rad be enough to cool either an i7 860 or an i7 920?
(I haven't made up my mind wether to go 1156 or 1366 yet :o)

many thanks
 
Hmm, looks like I will need to get a bigger case then. I was going to get a Lian Li PC-P50R but there is no eta for them so thought about a Lian Li PC-7FW B but I dont think there will be enough room in the top for a 240 rad with the m/board being so close to the top :(
time for a rethink

thanks for the advice :)
 
Aiming for a modest overclock, not bothered about watercooling the GPU as I don't game that much so can put up with the fan on that kicking in while gameing. Ideally looking for as quiet system as possible. As for the rad, well the best one available for the job really
 
Thanks for the advice, I think I will get a full tower and fit a 120.3 and maybe add the GPU to the loop at a later date. Any recomendations for a 120.3 rad?
 
Thanks :)

I think a build log will be in order but will be buying bits on a month by month basis, figured I would get the case first to give me plenty time to get mods done before getting the rest. Hopefully it will all be done by christmas. I may transfer my current PC into the new case and watercool that till I get my new mobo/cpu etc as a sort of test drive ( I was going to say dry run but that doesn't sound right for watercooling).
I have read your project si7ence and it is very inspiring, will have to read shadowscotland's too!
