Whats The Best Loop Config...
Case: Lian Li V2100
Motherboard: Asus Maximus Formula Radiators: Single 120.3 mounted in top of case and dual 120.2's on bottom of case Tubing: Tygon 3603 I want to WC these: CPU NB (optional) SB (optional) Mosfet (optional) Dual 3870 X2's Im giving myself a major headache beings that Im a first timer... a few variations and not sure which will give me best heat dissipation as well as best looking loop configuration. I have thought about these configs: Config 1 --> 2 loops: Top 120.3 cooling CPU+NB+SB+Mosfet and then both bottom 120.2's in the same loop cooling both video cards. Config 2 --> 3 loops: (Same as Config 1) but have each video card on its own loop and its own 120.2 Config 3 --> (Same as Config 1) but reverse the order... having CPU+NB+SB+Mosfet on the bottom 120.2's and then both video cards on the top 120.3 Here is a pic of the case (presently only shows a single 120.2 on the bottom) |

Re: Whats The Best Loop Config...
I would put the most of the cooling power on the vid cards. Then a second loop for everything else.

Re: Whats The Best Loop Config...
So basically Config 1 would be my best option? Dual 120.2's taking care of video and the 120.3 takin care of the CPU, NB, SB & Mosfet?

Criss-cross! The vidcards will be up near the 120.3 and vice versa for the CPU & 120.2s.
