supergeek101 Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 What size radiator would you recommend to be able to dissipate heat for an e8600 and 2x HD4890s well? I plan to create a water cooling setup in the future and I want to know which radiator to get. I'm going to order from Danger Den.

airman Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 My 2x120mm gets pretty loaded (inefficient) when i'm stressing my i7. I can assure you that 2x4890s would probably give more justice for a 3x120. I would suggest that as well as a reservoir (gives more surface area for the water and a little more chance to cool down). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardnrg Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 I'd go for a Thermochill PA120.3, Feser X-Changer Triple, or XSPC RX360... nothing less Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
supergeek101 Posted August 4, 2009 Posted August 4, 2009 (edited) Do you think this one will work? It's a 3x120. It will probably be a while before I get 2x 4890s, but eventually I will so I want to be prepared. And if I could get away with this one, it'd be better because its costs 30% less. Of course, if there's a point, I'll get the Xtreme one. Edited August 4, 2009 by supergeek101 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
overclocking101 Posted August 4, 2009 Posted August 4, 2009 I would get the thermochill pa 120.3 or the black ice extreme 480 both great radiators and they work about neck and neck anything less n u will regret it or end up spending more money Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
