Help with WC kit noob

post #1 of 13
Thread Starter 
Hi guys I need some serious help here if you don't mind anyway. Look I just went with the Swiftech H20-220 Edge Kit and since the pump is one of the best out there plus its reservoir, Im thinking on adding an extra rad for the WC loop I'm planning. What about 2 vga full blocks? and heres my main doubt now: I wont be doing extreme OC just mild OC maybe trying to raise the CPU core voltage sometime later thats all, would be ok to add a 280mm slim rad with 2 good cfm silent fans or 1 360mm thick with 3 low noise fans (low cfm) to the loop (Phenom II x6 1100t + 2 x HD 7970s). This rad will be set outside of the case since thermaltake's level 10 gt doesn't have enough clearance for the installation. It will be ok outside I just figured out how to attach the rad by the 140mm exhaust ventilation frame. Let me show you my options:

360mm RAD

And VGAs Full Cover XSPC Razor

I would rather go with the 360mm RAD since it would be a High Perf. loop, What do you think?. It would be ok that much?, or should I just WC 1 VGA since the Swiftech Edge was made for that (1 CPU + 1 VGA)?. Ty very much for your help.



As you can see this picture from Swiftech home page its possible to Use a 220 kit + 360 rad:




This is the Swiftech H2O-220 EDGE KIT:

MCR 220 Drive Rev3 Radiator including/featuring:

Heat exchanger for dual 120mm fans

Integrated reservoir with dual fill-ports and caps

Integrated MCP35X PWM controlled pump

(2) 120mm fans

(2) fan guards

Standard radiator mounting screw pack

(2) 1/2" Black hose barbs and worm-drive clamps

(2) 12 to 7 volt fan-speed adaptors

(2) 12 to 5 volt fan-speed adaptors

http://www.swiftech.com/h2o-x20-edge-hd.aspx#tab1


I'm thinking on adding a 360mm RAD to the loop, and I know its possible since I count with good swiftech products, pump, cpu block, res, etc.

Now in my case, the thermaltake won't handle all that easy. This is what I was planning. Please if you have any other idea about this let me know. I don't care if it takes some modding I won't change the case or maybe Should I change it?. Thank You all in advance.





I used the calculator from the WC official beggining help as a aprox. on what Im going to work:

A single 360mm rad isn't enough to cool two gpus and your cpu.

CPU: 95 Watts
GPU: 210W each = 420W

Which is a total of 515W preOC, add maybe 15% for overclock and you're looking at almost 575watts. For that minimum you need a 360 and a 120rad, though a 240 and 360 is preferable.

Here look this: The Kit already comes with a 240 rad with pump (Integrated MCP35X PWM controlled pump) + res and the apogee XT cpu block.

Did I mis search on google for the proc? And 350W for an OCed 7970? jeez, didn't know they could suck down that much juice on an OC...

Either way it shows he needs more rad space for sure.
