hey guys so im at the last stage of my build, and now i need to know how to do this right so here are my two options:

1.
res->pump>240mm rad->cpublock->120mmrad stacked->nb/sb->res

2.
res->pump>240mm rad->120mm rad stacked->cpublock->nb/sb->res

which one will give me the best temps, please help?

 

[newpc]

first one is better IMO.

putting both rads together wont give much better temps

yea i think the first one will work better too

any way you can toss that 2nd one(120) and just make it to 2x 240's?

I vote for whichever loop layout is more convenient as far as routing the tubes, as long as it follows...res->pump> rad...before the CPU

no unfortunatly im on a tight budget and the stacked rad was gifted to me, so i would use it, and not spend anymore money.

why are the stacked rads, a waist?

I say: Res>Pump>CPU>240Rad>NB>120Rad>Res.

But I'm no water guru.

 

[Drdeath]

1st one is best

 

[frickfrock999]

I'd say the first one, and like new said, stacking rads won't do much good.

res >pump>120>CPU>240>NB/SB that way the120 is getting rid of the heat from the NB and pump and the 240 gets the Q6600 heat
