Water-cooling advice

Hi people

What would be your recommended amount of radiators for cooling 4 graphic cards? along with a CpU, and would you go for a push/pull method?

I would recommend at least 2 360mm rad's in push or a 360+240 in push pull

Hi lads im looking to upgrade my CPU stock cooler (i5-3570K) and do some overclocking - probably with this Silverstone TD03

According to this review and the temp on the bar chart its pretty well performing for the money (£80 on OCUK / http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/121163066484?showlimghlp=true&lpid=92&device=c&adtype=pla&crdt=0&ff3=1&ff11=ICEP3.0.0&ff12=67&ff13=80&ff14=92&ff19=0)

Not bad. can the review be trusted?

Thanks to work I can pick up a H100i for €90 or a Corsair H55/ Antec KÜHLER H2O 620 for €50

Would these cheaper units be a safer bet?

A Coolermaster hyper 212 evo will get you 4.5ghz for €30.

You might get 200mhz higher with an expensive cooler if you're lucky but is that worth an extra €80? Not in my book.

the cpu is the hottest thing i my case so i kind of wanted to remove its hot from the case, hence water unit. This would reduce the ambient temp in the case.

Bloodbath ., Ill guess that that fan will only cool well relative to the temperature in the case and the CPU is on the exhaust path from an ATI 7950 which is hitting 50-65 degrees full whack?

BloodBath

Well of course. Any cooler including water cooling is only going to cool relative to the temps inside of the case. Adding more case fans will help. These are a steal if you want to pick up some more 120mm fans.

Some of the new 3570ks overclock really well too. A Hyper 212 can cool 1.3v just about with good airflow - that will do 4.5 ghz MINIMUM on most 3570ks. If you want a better cooler that's slightly queiter, grab a Macho HR02.

Any advice on my loop?

Koolance Bay Resivior and D5 pump. Phobya 200mm Rad in the front of my 600T and 240mm in the roof. Should I run another 120mm radiator or is it not worth the bother?

I'm also thinking of setting the 200mm front to intake and then exhausting through the top, should the 120mm fan on the back be set to exhaust or intake for more pressure in the case?

Any good links for what pressure inside the case does?

Cheer all!

I love this poll

51/50 (sic) split lol

Balanced airflow is obviously the ideal but since that is hard to achieve a slightly positive airflow is better than a negative one imo.

Negative airflow draws air in from any place possible meaning unfiltered areas drawing in air leading to more dust build up.
