H80i V2 max TDP?

Go to solution Solved by badreg,

You need at least a 240mm AIO or a big air cooler like the NH-D15.

 

Corsair doesn't publish TDP figures for their coolers, but you can't expect a 120mm AIO to dissipate more than 150W at max pump and fan speeds. Furthermore, Intel calculates TDP at base clocks, so the Xeon will be drawing around 300W at turbo clocks.

Hello there,

 

At my work, one of our Workstations seems to be having some thermal throttling problem. We have E5-2679 V4, a 20 core Xeon which produces heat upto 200W TDP. But, may I know what the max that a H80i V2 can hold? Please let me know.

 

Thanks!

Some research (which may not be accurate) says Corsair doesn't measure TDP on liquid cooling units. Weather this be true or not I assume the chip is on air right now. A 120mm aio will help a lot in comparison. If you're still worried and if the chassis will permit it you could step up to a 240mm aio.

So, 240 rad seems to be only option here :| Okay.

 

Thanks both!
