Will this be enough radiator area..?

Alz_D · 31 Mar 2012 at 18:56

I have an overclocked I7 2600k and I have EK blocks coming for my 2 7950's which are in crossfire. Currently I have an EK XTX 360 and I am going to add either an XTX 120 or 240 to the loop as well. Question is - will the 120 be enough or will I need a 240? :confused:

All rads will be running Scythe GT's. The rest of my rig is in the sig below.

Advice as always greatly appreciated.

You're 360 should be enough as it is, but if you can fit in the 240 you might as well go for that.

Rule of thumb is 120mm per component. So as already stated your fine with just the 360.if your wanting to add another rad to the loop and have room for the 240 then go for it! If the 120 is more practical for your case then go for that :-)

Thanks for the replies - If the 360 is already ok will it make that much difference adding an extra 120 / 240 ? Are we talking about a couple of degrees?

It wouldn't be much more than that I suspect.

Hi
no doesnt make a big difference at all, i went from a 360 to a 360+240 with whats in my sig and temps only dropped 2-3 at best

Thanks for your input. I think I shall stick to the 360 and see how I go. Busy week ahead

I have a 360 and a 120 cooling my i7 and SLI 470s. Everything overclocked to the max.
The 470s run hotter then the 7950s so you should be fine with which ever you choose.
