Any idea what sort of temps I would get with this config?

Hello there,

Planning on moving to mini-ITX with the 250d and might as well watercool it.

I have an i5-3570k and an R9 290, I am planning to overclock but would like to hear any ideas as to what sort of stock temps I'd be getting.

With 2 rads:

1x 140mm EK-coolstream, thickness 55mm

1x 240mm Alphacool nexxxos, thickness 30mm

EK-DDC 3.2 PWM 12VDC pump and an EK-DDC X-res 100 for the res/pump.

Any info would be much appreciated.

It's alright, and would work, but would be better if you could find a case you like that supports more rads. I got no idea really. I just go overkill with my rads. God dangit, you make me want to finish working on my rig! D:

I don't know how hot that CPU gets, but nothing will get too hot with proper fans on the rads. idle temps would be around 20-or 35c im guessing?

Also depends on how warm your room gets. My room gets int the 80's

Would love a case where I could fit 3 of those Monstah rads for fun but haven't come across any that would be even remotely portable.
