How many rads ?

[Midnitewarrior4]

Im planning a watercooling loop.... I might or might not do it but im doing planning for the future so i have a i5-4690k and a gtx 970 ( maybe a second when i finally realise that 100+ fps on far cry isnt good enough ) and i was wondering what rad combo would keep the setup cool ? I have a nzxt h440 so i could do a 140mm at the back with 2 240mm rads or a 360mm with a 240mm.... Idk im a noob

rule of thumb is 120mm for each component so in your case if you have 3 components, either go with 360mm or 1 240mm and 1 140mm/120mm

thin 30mm 240 in the roof and the 360 of any thickness (60 is normal). this will

provide low fan noise (sub 1000 rpm fans) and upgrade path for a 2x GPU later,

if needed. if sticking to the single GPU, then the dual 240 would be plenty.

Yeah, use a 360mm at the top of your h440
