5930k@4.5 + SLI Titan X@1500 + Full Board = How Much Rad?

[heliax2112]

I want to get a sexy case like the InWin 909 which for the setup I am planning can support 1 360x40mm @ 19FPI (Split Fin) and 2 240x25mm @22FPI

 

I worry that the 7x120 radiators wouldn't be enough to cool the CPU/GPU at overclocks that high aswell as the RAM+Mosfet+Chipset regardless of fan speed

 

If that won't be enough I guess I'll settle for a 900D :\

 

The peak power draw would be about 1150 Watts which following the rule of thumb 1 120mm radiator per 150watts would mean 10x120s but that is theory, does anyone have experience that can answer if a tripple and 2 doubles would be sufficient for a rig of this power?

 

Thanks all

7x120 is enough, but if you want to be sure, get an external 120mm rad with 9 places (3x3 config) and put it somewhere out of the way.

Just two way sli?

You are looking at more like 850 peak. I know I'm basically running that exact setup.

Awesomesauce network did his with just as hot parts under 5x120 with great temps.

Likewise even jayztwocents only has like 6x140+4x120 and that is with tripple titan x.

150W dissipation for a radiator is with quite high speed fans, the best in class thick radiators are more like 110W with 1000rpm fans, thin ones are 90W and that is holding the water to a max delta of 10C. I would anticipate that being quite a hot loop if your estimate of 1150W is right as its only 770W of dissipation at 10C unless  you intend to run your fans quite loud (like 1600rpm to compensate).

I have this and it's amazing, and ridiculously cheap.

 

It's only $110 or so and it works like charm.

I bought a 909 and returned it once i discovered a company called Caselabs. Check them out if you haven't already, I went with the SMA8. It's everything an enthusiast coud want and more, fully modular case with ample support for radiators. I'm running a 480, 360 and a 240, and I still have room for another 480 at the top if I want. Heck, I think you can put two more 480s up top if you buy an extender.

My girlfriend says the SMA8 is sexy lol, I personally thought the 909 was better looking, but it really pales in comparison to what the SMA8 can do. I've been building computers for 20 years, and never seen anything to the likes of Caselabs.
