Dual Fury X layout in NZXT H440 and SS-1000XP

DXMember

Hey, there I'm considering on dual Fury X crossfire,

was wondering how to layout the rads...

 

Case: NZXT H440

PSU: Seasonic 1000W (Platinum)

MB: MSI X99S Plus

CPU: 5820K (CM Nepton 240M)

 

Curently I have the default fan configuration (3x 120mm front intake, 140mm back exhaust)

and a 2x120mm CPU AIO cooler as top exhaust.

So how do I lay out the radiators? - Should I put both as front intake? - that sounds hot...

Should I replace 140mm exhaust with one rad and try to squeese the otherone on top next to Nepton? - that sounds as a lot of negative pressure...

 

Also will the 1000W PSU be enough for overclocked environment? - each fury chums 375W which is 750W for crossfire.

Was wondering how much does the 5820K draw when overclocked? - I've seen 190~220W reported on HWMonitor, but I doubt that is accurate - is it?

having both cards as an intake will indeed raide the internal case temps by a sinificant amount. In older cases without midplates (the metal psu/ wiring covering) you could place them on the bottom as exausts, but that wont work.

 

I doubt the tubing is long enough to reach the top, and even if it was, the aesthetic quality would be somewhat degraded.

 

I had a very similar experience when I water cooled my old 760's with the kraken g10, and had to figure out where to place the 120mm rads (a bit easier for you, a the tubing is so much more flexible than most aio's)

 

regarding the power, you should be fine. while each fury x can consume 375W, I don't thin it will ever get much over 275W (if what they said is accurate), so you will have plenty of headroom

I will be running it overclocked,

This CPU is rated at 77W as well, but HighCookie claims he can pull 4000W trough it:

Ofcourse not going to such extremes, but if HWMonitor is to be trusted I am already over 200W on my just 140W rated CPU.

 

Are you sure you're sure on this one?

 

Now that I think of it... my room and the kitchen are both connected to the same surge protector that is 10A

And we have things like a microwave (another 1000W) an electrical oven (god knows how much that one pulls...) and other minor kithcen appliances.

So was wondering if the surge protector would blast out if I turned on every device and and run a bench on PC?

My theoretical knowledge would say - deffinately, but the gut says it doesn't relly work like that in real world...

unless you run furmark you should be fine

 

when each card takes around 250W under a gaming load, you will have to be doing some insane shit on your cpu to reach 1000W
