I have had a desire for a long time now to give watercooling a go even though I should probably spend said money on new components. My goal would be to run a very overclocked processor extremely quietly and just to run a graphics card quietly (not fussed about overclocking that).
So basically I have two questions, if I had two seperate loops one for my cpu and one for gfx how big would the two radiators need to be for my stated aims and then I can decide on a case that will fit said radiators hehe.
My processor is an x3 720BE and I know from reading up it is pretty difficult to get them past 3.7ghz, so to do it quietly I imagine would be a bit of challenge, I have pipe dreams of a x6 1090T as well in future so a radiator that could manage a decent overclock on that quietly as well for the future would be ideal. From my own reading I don't think I need more than a 240mm(120x2) rad for either cpu to achieve my goal ... is that correct?
Now as for watercooling the gpu this is what I have no idea about. At the moment I have a HD4850 and I am thinking about maybe getting another one and running them in crossfire. How much radiator would I need to cool two HD4850s quietly at stock speeds with mediocre temps?
Finally just out of interest more than anything else how much radiator would you need to just cool a nvidia 480GTX really quietly at stock voltages!?
Also since I am asking so many questions how much radiator would you need for a single loop cooling a phenom II x3 and 2 HD4850s.
Thanks for anyone that can answer any of these questions!
