Phobya 200mm vs 360mm

post #1 of 5

Thread Starter 
So I'm looking to install my first water cooling loop into my Corsair 600T (Yes I know it was a poor water cooling choice), and am kinda trying to avoid cutting up the top of my case to install a 120mm x 360mm radiator up there. Now at first I was just going to put in a 240mm rad up top and a 200mm radiator in the front and be happy cooling my gpu and cpu but was informed that probably won't cut it.

So, really I have 3 main questions:
How much of a cooling loss is a Phobya 200mm vs say a XSPC EX360?

And how should I aim my fans? I was thinking intake through the front Phobya 200mm and exhaust through the top 360mm/200mm and exhaust through the rear 120mm port.

Is it worth it to include a 120mm radiator in the rear exhaust?

Here's my system:
i5-3570k (4.1ghz with stock intel fan)
2x4gb Samsung DDR3 @ 1866mhz
Samsung 830 128 gb SSD
And my eVga 670 FTW gets here tomorrow.

My intended water cooling parts:
Swiftech MCP35x with optional attached reservoir
XSPC Raystorm Acetal CPU block

Still unsure on GPU block.

1 gpu and cpu should be fine on a 240 and a 200mm

i would do both rads intake and just have the rear fan exhausting.

parts all look fine, I would def check out heatkiller/aquacomputer blocks over ek

You would be fine with one radiator too. Either 240 or 200mm.
I cooled i5 2500 at 4.5ghz and gtx580 on 240mm rad ans nwver had higher temps than 55C.
There is a nice build that runs same stuff as yours on dingle 120mm rad, but 80mm thick.

Another quick question, will 10mm x 16mm fittings work for 3/8" ID x 5/8" OD tubing? Did the conversion and it's close, was just unsure how exact compression fittings needed to be. And are black nickel plated brass Phobya brand fittings any good?

10mm*13mm = 3/8"*1/2"
10mm*16mm = 3/8"*5/8"
13mm*19mm = 1/2"*3/4"

(if i am mistaken or missing something please add)
