Hi guys (and girls?),
I'm thinking of jumping on the water cooling bandwagon, after building three of my PCs I think it's about time! Those experienced in it can you advise on what I would need to cool... lets see...
Giving large leeway on the components:
150W TDP CPU
35W TDP NB
2x 200W TDP GFX cards
So in total 585W TDP to be cooled (maximum, at stock TDP figures come out at roughly 460). That's a heavily overclocked Q6600, X38 chipset using DDR2, and 2x 4870. Would it be wise to have two loops? Perhaps a bay mounted radiator for CPU + NB loop, and a 120.3 rad at the top of the case fuelling the two graphics cards loop?
I've never done any water cooling before so i've no idea if that's practical or what . Please advise :>.
PS. that same MSI "ready for PC2008" ad has been showing for like half a year or something now .
