First time custom looping, How big rad do i need?

Hello im going to Watercool my whole system(when i have scraped up some money) and I would like ANY recomendations.

Well they say atleadt 1 120mm rad per part. Think about it. Dual rad aio's cool the cpu and beat air coolers. Single rads get killed by air coolers. I am no expert but win that hardware atleast a dual 120/140 and a triple 140/120

I am not an expert here but I would think you would want two 240MM Rads with a decent thickness. Perhaps if you had the space one 240MM and then a thick 120mm rad would be enough, but I don't think you would be expecting the best temperatures, but would still achieve a quieter rig.

 

The Stryker can have a 240 on the top and bottom, assuming you can find another area for the reservoir and pump. As well as a 140/120mm on the rear.

Is it just me or is Grammar slowly becoming extinct on LTT?

How big of a rad ? The biggest one you can get. In that case, a dual 140mm rad. A dual 120mm can work, but a dual 140mm rad will spin more quieter, and will run cooler.
