Looking for a bit of advice on expanding my watercooling loop guys.
I currently have the following:
Pump (Aquastream 50Z-DC12)>PA160 rad>Storm CPU block>Polar FLo TT VGA block>T-piece (Fillport)>Pump
This was fine for my 3700+ SD and 850XT (both idling around 30 and hitting 36/7 on load with fans on full). However i have just swapped my 3700 for an Opteron 146 and want to overclock this baby to the FX heights it can reach. Unfortunately its not one of the early steppings that will do 3.0Ghz on stock volts so its temps are going up.
Basically i was wanting to add another rad between the storm and the VGA block to take more heat out of the loop. My PA160 is sitting in the bottom of my V1100 like this:
With the loop looking like this:
The idea would be to mount the second rad to the top of the case above the gfx.
The questions i have are:
1. Would a 120.1 be enough (bearing in mind that i want the fans on as low as poss) or would a 120.2 be better?
2. Is my pump (Aquastream 50Z-DC12) powerful enough for the new loop with two rads?
Thanks in advance,
Cyp.
