minimum radiator size to cool gpu?

[Rhoptowit]

hi, just wanted to know what you guys think the minimum radiator size for watercooling a gpu should be? more specifically, what should the radiator size be to cool a palit 560 ti gpu?

240 rad should be fine. Or a 120 doing a push/pull

Yep. 240 will net better temps but a single 120 would suffice.
FWIW I can run an i7 @ 4.5 and a GTX580 @ 950 core on a single 360 rad with fans turned down to minimum and still get great temps.

120 rad will be plenty fine for your GPU. 240 is overkill.

I thought the rule was 150w dissipation per 120rad. Isn't the 560ti something like a 220w tdp?

 

[Tsumi]

No, the 560 is somewhere around 160w TDP. 220 is GTX 570/HD6970 level.

I would go with a 240....that way the deltaT will be far superior than if you were using only a 120 rad.

you could also use quieter fans.
