You should be fine, your temps will go up but not so much that your fans will need to be sped up to 100%

Give it a shot and if it really doesn't work just pop the air cooler back on your GPU.

Hi LinusTechTips people!

 

 

Im thinking about adding 1x GPU to my Watercooling build.

 

Current Build 

http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/242399-first-time-water-cooling-and-i-think-it-went-good-d/#entry3322290

 

But Im not sure if my 2x 120mm Radiators will be "strong" enough to cool it down or avoid running the fans at 100%.

 

 

Atm my temperatures on CPU ( AMD FX 8320 Stock Speed ) are idle 33*C, Load ( 1-2 hours of BF4 ) 45-47*C max with fans at 960Rpm ( Watercooling )

                                        GPU ( PNY gtx 780 Stock Speed ) are idle 33*C, Load ( 1-2 hours of BF4 ) 70-76*C ( Stock fan / Titan look )

 

 

Are the 2x Radiators going to be "strong" enough and cool down both CPU and GPU without turning the fans to max rpm?

I could just add another 120mm Radiator but I cant really do that without modding to my case

( Excuse my English :D )

I've built 3 PC's, but none for myself... In fact, I'm using an iMac that my dad bought for me as my desktop. Awkward...

Please don't say "SSD drive." By doing so, you are literally saying "Solid State Drive Drive" and causing my brain cells to commit suicide. The same applies to HDD (Hard Disk Drive) and PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express).
