keep is coming syr, this is going to be one mean machine

heh!.... erm... perhaps some form of over-compensation!?!

-lol.

Anyhoo, would you guys mind chiming in a little?

I have not started cutting on the panel that houses the radiators, so I can still make changes.

My intention is to have the CPU and the NB on one loop, and the GPU's and the SB on the 2nd loop.

Perhaps 2 x 360's?

Considering the thermal and voltage specs on the 45nm CPU's perhaps some reconsideration is appropriate?

Please give me your opinions and insight.

Thank you.

i wound have cpu on a PA120.2, then the gpu/s on a PA120.2, then s/b, n/b and mosfets on a PA120.2

or

have a Y Splitter before the cpu and have the s/b off of it on a PA120.3

have a Y Splitter before the gpu/s and have N/b off of it on a PA120.3

hope it helps

As you may have surmised 45nm run cool. Likely the NB is warmer than the CPU. GFX run hot and can handle it. You may want to go CPU > SB to maximize CPU cooling. My thought is that the CPU seems most affected by temp RE performance. So going as cold as possible on the CPU is priority one.

Not backed up with any rigorous tests...

Looking forward to any pictorials of how you lay up the CF panels...are they strictly cosmetic?

PA120.2 for CPU + SB, and a PA120.3 for the GPUs + NB + MOSFETS maybe?

Or if you have room, PA120.2 for CPU + SB, PA120.3 for GPUs, PA120.1 for NB + MOSFETs?

Thanks for commenting guys.

Yeah... the twin 480's was a boneheaded move.... unless I cram 2 systems into the case...

...nah...

So I think that I will give 360's a spin. Probably still overkill, but one of the design aspects I have in mind is flexability for various combinations of cooling options.

The carbon fiber is going to be integrated into the load-bearing aspects of the design.

Thanks again for your input Gents.

no prob bro errm are you have sli - crossfire and mosfets water cooled

I disagree that 480s are a bonehead move.

More rad means less fan. With rads that large you can basically run passive cooling.

I'm not sure what is going to go into this case.

Most likely this will house my next Primary system which will be a dual-graphics card configuration (I don't know which camp [Red or Green] yet). Tri-SLI is a possiblilty, but probably not; I liken to being able to say, "I have a Bugatti Veyron".... which btw, would be a really cool thing to be able to say.

As for RAM and Mosfets....dunno ...perhaps.

kk cool just go with the flow bro and i hate the graphic designing been doing some for black zipper, that reminds me better update the log
