Radiator Size

[Levelian]

Hi All,

Just a quick question, i am buying a Merlin SM8 Case and i have the option to put either a 480mm in it with out 30mm of thickness or 64mm in push / pull am i better off using a thinner rad or am i better off going the 64mm 480 does it make alot of diff. Loop below


The new ivy-e when it comes out (overclocked)
2 x 780's

TLDR : will a 64mm thick 480mm rad cool this setup ?

Are you asking if a 64mm thinck 480mm rad , with no fans, will cool the system?

I am asking if a 64mm x 480mm radiator is enough to cool 2 video cards and a cpu

i didnt mention fans as im putting Ap-15's on it in push/pull

Technically, yes, it will work. However, I wouldn't imagine the temps to be too fantastic if both GPUs and the CPU were OCed and under high load for any extended period of time.
