Water Cooling Loop Concept (with image)
Building a new computer. Here's the loop (I like it because it is clean, but does it work, I've never built a water cooled PC):
Res -> Dual 140mm Rad -> CPU -> 120mm or 140mm Rad -> GPU -> Res
CPU - Skylake i7 6700k
GPU - Titan X Hydro Copper
1.) Is this loop plausible for OC'ing or is it not enough radiator?
2.) Can I put this in a mid size tower case? If so, recommend a case please. ( I worry about clearance issues and radiators touching)
3.) If I added a 2nd GPU eventually would I need to re-think the loop or is a single rad for the GPU enough?
John Chrin shared his thoughts on constructing a new PC, describing the loop he designed. He mentioned liking its clean design but questioned whether it functions properly without a water-cooled setup, as he hasn't built one before. He asked about the feasibility of using this loop for overclocking, noting it might not be sufficient radiators. He also inquired about fitting a second GPU later and whether a single radiator would suffice, expressing concerns about clearance and heat management. He concluded by saying the loop seems reasonable for overclocking, but suggests two dual 140mm radiators if budget allows, recommending the Fractal Design Define S case for good performance. He noted it could accommodate multiple radiators and mentioned the importance of managing component temperatures.
I appreciate your prompt response. My decision to use two radiators in the top left was mainly about improving air circulation. I was planning to place fans at the front and bottom, directing air from bottom right to top left. Following your advice would mean directing air out from the front and top, possibly using a single fan at the back to draw hot air in from the PSU. Is this correct?
I don't understand the image you shared. Could you clarify what kind of case you're preparing?
