As for a radiator... The case everything is going in is a Lian Li PC61. It's not exactly a very spacious case. I dislike the notion of having to cut a larger blowhole, so a top mount radiator is not an option. The only place to place a radiator would be in front of the intake fans then. By my measurements, a BIX will fit perfectly. However, will it be able to handle the heat from my processor (I estimate around 120W using this). With some more modification, I can fit a D-Tek JR-120. With even more work, a D-Tek Pro Core.
I currently plan on only cooling the CPU, but I would like the ability to add on a chipset and GPU block (hence the Swifty as the pump I've chosen). This would make the heat load about 150W. What would you guys recommend in this situation? |
dtek have discontinued the pro-core in favour of the smaller JR-120.
given your unwillingness to cut the top, you're left with a JR-120 (or chevette core if you're willing to make the space) -
unless you go external...
whether you need a bigger rad really depends on your noise tolerance - since the airflow makes a huge difference to the rads performance...
