Overkill?

Goksly · 09-16-2003, 08:24 PM

Hi...atm i have:
LRWW
Maze4 GPU
DD Chipset
Thermochill 120.1
Bayres
Hydor L30.

Im about to start building a radbox with 2 decent sized heatercores (250x150x40mm). would 2 hydor L30's be overkill? i want the water to enter the rad box and enter a bigish res. the pumps then independently take the water and pump it through one of the rads each....and then meet up again before it goes out of the radbox to the pc.

so....is that overkill? im planning on TEC'ing my videocard soonish.

cheers.

No not over kill yet - just added redundancy for extra protection if one fails. I done the two pump thing before and I like liked it. I like the TEC idea usually when I use one I try to use it to cool my CPU / GPU to the 70F. Sound like a choir but I have 20 + pelts to play with so I can usually find the right one for the job.

Why not just one big rad instead of two little ones?

thats a 172mm Comair Rotron for scale.

mine's being housed in an old ammo box.. something like 15" square or somesuch.

Oh, and that rotron's the 24v version. I had 4 of them running at 12v pulling air through the rad in my old setup.
