I'm hoping to do a water cooled system on a 650D case with Intel 2011 socket and water cooled 7970. I haven't water cooled in awhile so I'm not sure whats around now.

The RAD would have to be a 240 one so its compatible and so it fits the 650D, preferably slim. A Reservoir that is with the Optical drives at the front too and RED UV coolant :)


Thanks!

Hi,

Welcome to OCUK :D. forums

Are you planning an OC on CPU or GPU?
 
how many rads can be fitted in the 650d without any need to dremel / mod it?

Also, im assuming that the 650d can take a 280 rad at the top? I heard that a 280 can beat a 360 and can do cpu and gpu?

even a thick 240 would struggle TBH

Well I'm not an expert like Cleeecooo but keep in mind the X79 runs hot!

Not any clue about 650D but If you can put a 240 in then you can probably squeeze a 120 on the rear vent as well ...

This guy is cooling a CPU and GPU off one radiator?

Not a X79 though ... but he is OC'ing :eek:

You could go for such a setup and supplement it later with a 120 RAD which should take care of the excess heat on the X79 and perhaps some OC'ing.

Just a thought ... but you should do your own reading as well

I'm following this: adding 120mm^2 radiator surface area for each component ...

I'm not an expert either :p

I currently have an EX 240 for my 3930K @ stock and without putting it under too much load, it sill runs failry hot. A 7970 aswell wouldbe a complete no go

hehe I just got my EK 480 XTX [love the ~15mm shroud] to submerge 2 x 7970 and 3930K (4.5GHz) - sorting out the WC first - such a bloody nightmare and expensive ... hoping to start a project log (LoL) as soon as I buy electronics > D5 pump! :D

What about a 2700k and a 7970?

Slight improvement, but I still wouldn't TBH

look forward to it!
 
A 650D can comforatbely fit a 240mm up top and a 200mm up front.

if modding is your thing you can even squeeze a 360mm up top.

i've got this setup more than comfortably cooling a 2500k at 4.4ghz and CF'd 6950's admittedly the graphics are not OC'd yet but plenty scope for overclocking there.
 
What chip would i be able to comfortably be able to cool in there? I'm definitely after the 7970 WC and i preferably need a 4+ Core CPU, thinking about the bulldozer now...
 
any sandybridge, i5 2500k and i7's 2600k/2700k without a doubt, dont know much about the new sandybridge-E cpu's, so i'll leave that to someone who does, same with bulldozer.
i was under the impression that bulldozer ran hotter and more power hungry than sandybridge but i may be very wrong.
 
possible, might be a bit toasty if overclocking as already stated, i'd stick a 200mm rad in there as well to give a little headroom on temps.
