Hi all,
Yes, yet another Switch 810, sorry (if someone can suggest something at roughly the same price point that's good for what I want to do, please do so!).
As it stands, I have 2x7970s, and am about to get a 3820 with an Asus Rampage IV Formula. The intention is to get a third 7970 in a little while. At this point in time, I'm looking at the Switch 810 and Silverstone ST1500, as there's a chance i'll be getting a 4th 7970 down the road.
Quiet is a priority for me, so I'm trying to figure out a solid radiator that cools pretty well but will allow some silence. I'd been looking at the RX360, but I figure I might as well take advantage of the 420mm space. So far, I'm looking at the Black Ice SR-1 420 and Black Ice GT Stealth 420. I know the Stealth is designed for even less air flow than the SR-1, but I'm having difficulty finding any report of its performance. So at the moment, I'm stuck between those two and whatever may be a viable option.
On top of that, my other concern was how much space I'd have on the bottom. I was planning on getting the XSPC Raystorm RX240 kit off frozencpu and throw the RX240 on the bottom, but I'm unsure about clearance on the bottom with such a long PSU there. What I'm wondering is if removing HDD cages on the bottom can resolve this issue (I'll probably only have one SSD + 2 HDD's at most for a while).
Of course, any radiators I get will need to be able to keep 3 or 4 OC'd 7970s + a 3820, which I'll hardly OC if at all, cool in at least a somewhat quiet fashion. I don't need their temps to be insanely low or anything, just healthy.
So yeah, if anyone would like to make suggestions, lend advice, or tell me I'm an idiot for one reason or another, I would deeply appreciate it!
