A challenge to water cooling Builder with a few rads laying around

[LiamApex]

How about someone takes 5 240Mm radiators Puts 4 fans on each side for a total or 8 fans per and hook them all up and give us some temps also post pics of your loop

I don't think someone whos a consumer has few rads laying around. maybe someone from the industry could do it

Well I have a 140, 240, 240 and 420 lying around.

 

To answer your question OP. I have a 3*3 120mm external rad hooked up to my loop with 3 fans running on their lowest setting at all times. What really matters when you start having a lot of rad space is water flow rate and how the heat is taken away. I delidded my 3570k for that reason.

 

It still reaches 60C at 4.6GHz @ 1.22V while under artificial load. I will run OCCT now to post a screenshot.

I have over 10 480 and 560mm rads and also a 9*140mm. I can tell you right away that past 1 meter of linear rad space, the blocks, TIM and mount matter much more.
