this is a big boy
I run a single loop that cools a core i7 920 (DD TDX), 4870X2 (DD block), and my X58 nb + mosfets (EK full coverage block). I tried 2 different 3x120 radiators, and they couldn''t handle it. With the MCR420 and 4 1000rpm fans, I get load temps of 30C over ambient (55C) on my cpu, gpu, and board (nearly 470 watts of heat dump!). I think that''s just fine for a single radiator. That represents a 5C improvement on CPU from air and a 35C improvement on the GPU. |
