Hi folks,

Due to the close proximity of my cards on this MB the top card gets a little toasty ie almost 30 deg higher than the bottom one!!

Although having vowed never to return to watercooling i see no other option to solve this issue, short of going back to deltas. Anyhow, the question is, which rad would do the job of cooling just the 2x 580s? would a 360 surfice? or should i look for more ...especially as we are likely to get a hot summer.

Will be run with a single DD Monsoon, D5 vario pump, EK blocks + 1/2 tubing. I have half a dozen viper fans left over from a previous build i could use on the rad.

I had to wait about 3 weeks for them to come back in stock and even then not sure if i made the right choice, seems to be some issues over glue fails. I shall see - hasnt arrived yet.

Sorry, before i settle on the Thermochill rads has anyone used the new(ish) Phobya rads ...seem a damn sight cheaper for not that much difference in performance if Skinee labs is anything to go by.
