Dual radiators? Overclocking?
Dual radiators? Overclocking?
Hi everyone, I'm curious what Overclockers think about using two radiators. I have a 240mm rad for my 380t with the h100i gtx, but I'm wondering what other purposes they serve. What do you all think? This is exactly the situation I'm describing. Also, does this case fit a Resevoir? Are there any systems that require maintenance and others that don't? Thanks!
the h100i is a sealed cooling solution, designed not to be altered or modified; this is why it’s called "closed loop." such systems generally need only occasional radiator cleaning. while they can be upgraded with additional coolers, doing so would require custom modifications and could void your warranty, increasing the chance of errors. depending on the GPU model, you might consider adding another closed loop cooler to handle extra heat, and there are detailed instructions available online.

based on the GPU you own, it might be feasible to install another closed loop cooler to handle extra cooling needs. they offer mounting brackets that enable attaching another h100i. here’s a thorough guide on the procedure:

the alternative would be to completely remove the h100i and build a full custom loop. this approach seems restrictive for such a setup, though technically achievable. custom loops demand more upkeep beyond radiator cleaning (such as draining or refilling twice yearly), and they also present more failure points, making them more susceptible to issues but easier to fix if needed. currently, custom cooling solutions are less common, as heavy cooling isn’t typically necessary unless you have a very powerful multi-GPU configuration.
