buschdeluxe Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I've decided on going water cooled so for the last couple of days I've been reading up on the subject going through forums and guides around the Internet. I've build a couple of rigs but I have never done WC before. Therefore I would like to keep things as simple as possible... the part list look like this (excluding the WC stuff): Chasis: Corsair Obsidian 800D CPU: Intel Core i7 2600K Sandy Bridge MoBo: ASUS MAXIMUS IV EXTREME-Z SSD: CORSAIR FORCE GT SERIES 3 2.5" 120GB SSD MLC PSU: CORSAIR AX 1200W PROFESSIONAL RAM: CORSAIR 12GB DDR3 1600MHZ (6X2GB) CL8 DOMINATOR WITH DHX+ W/ FAN BLUE FIN GPU: 2 x Radeon HD 6990 Display: 3 x Dell 24" UltraSharp U2412M IPS Panel Here was I was thinking: I'd cool the CPU with a Corsair H50 Hydro Series and then add a single water loop to cool the 6990's. Questions: 1. Do you guys think that it would work? 2. Would a 360 rad on top of the case be enough to disperse the heat from the GPU's? 3. How would I ensure that there is sufficient airflow with the H50 and the rad mounted seeing that MoBo/RAM is air cooled? I don't plan to do much overclocking (maybe down the road). Would just like to keep things cool and relatively silent. And I don't wanna mod the chassis (looks really awesome as it is :-) ). Any help/suggestions will be much appreciated!

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted August 24, 2011 Corsair Employee Share Posted August 24, 2011 I would go with an H100 and then you should be fine with this config just H-100 rather than H50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
