I tried using OverDrive on my X1900XT card but I saw the temperature reading in the CCC hitting 93 C and it kept going up so I got scared and just hit "Stop" to cancel it...the card cannot handle temps that high can it?...according to the OverDrive temp readout my idle temp is around 43 C and during load around 55 C...
 
Actually it can...but I don't think it would last very long like that.

I am considering replacing the stock heatsink with something else because I can't stand the noise from kicking the fan up...even if I have to give up outside exhausting. :D

In that case you might want to check out an Accelero X2...

It looks like your CPU is going to preheat the water going to the first GPU, which is going to superheat the water going to the second GPU. (or the other way around depending on flow)

You sure you know what your doing there?

Well...at least the water heaters wont cause the video memory to overheat too, not that they won't do that themselves with no heatsinks.... :D

as long as he has a radiater big enough to cool all that he will be fine dual 120mm or bigger should handle that especially (im shure he has atleast a dual 120mm rad) and im kinda curious what pump he has tho because good flow rates would really help

he needs some ram cooling on there before he overheats his ram
 
You guys are funny!


The RAM does not need ramsinks as they don't even get warm to the touch....... You guys should do some searching on this forum to see that ramsinks can actually cause the heat to stay on the ram instead of removing it.

As for the radiator, it is a BIX Pro 120.2 and works just fine with two fans running at 7volts. The temps on the video cards is 38c idle / 45c load, which is WAY better than stock and it is silent.

The goal was to cool the video and cpu with one loop while maintaining a "silent" operation. Mission accomplished with great headroom for overclocking.

If you call 31c CPU and 38c GPU not knowing what I am doing, I guess not. ;)
