New Watercooling Setup

[ElMoIsEviL]

I'm curious and want to know if I have enough radiator space.

I've got the following specs (some here already, other stuff on the way):

Gigabyte EX58-Extreme
Intel Core i7 920 (currently doing 4GHz)
Visiontek Radeon HD 4870X2 (currently two of them but moving down to a single one)
3x2GB Corsair Dominator PC3-1600 DDR3
Silverstone TJ09B-W case

The waterloop will consist of:

- Swiftech MCP655 (I have two of them but I think one is sufficient, recommendations?).
- Swiftech MCR320-QP Radiator with 6 (push pull) Yate Loon D12SL-12 fans (Swiftech MCB-120 Radbox for rear outside mount)
- Black Ice GT Stealth 240 with 2 Yate Loon D12SL-12 fans (Silverstone DR09 RADSUPPORT09 for top mount)
- EK Reservoir (small one 100 series I believe)
- DangerDen Brass Fillport
- Swiftech GTZ CPU waterblock
- DangerDen 4870X2 Full cover block
- Feser Tubing (UV Red)

Question 1: Would the 3x120 + 2x120 radiator setup be enough with the Yate Loon fans?
Question 2: Would a single MCP655 be enough?

I think you would be fine with that pump. Everything I have read and what I have seen it is a work horse.

Those two rads with those fans will be fine. If you could fit another 3 fan rad, you would for sure be safe and could add a NB and Ram down the road if you wanted to.

My two cents.

As long as your only cooling 1 of those 4870's like you said, your fine.

A single MCP655 should have no problem pushing the water through that loop.

You got some good rad power there; you should be fine.
