Rad Thickness

[calebp123]

Ok so could I run 2 240mm rads to cool an overclocked cpu and gpu AND have the system be pretty quite? Also how thick would the rads need to be?

What CPU and GPU are you going to cool

What CPU and GPU are you going to cool

4770k and a 670

i'd use the 60mm radiators.. if you find some 54, yeah.. the 45mm would be iffy just

because of Haswell. you might have to boost the fan speed to compensate. i would

never consider 30mm for CPU/GPU combo. even if they were Alphacool ST30 rads.

just not enough port to flow coolant. and there will be reviews otherwise.. just going

from experience.. great space-saver rads, but just not efficient on 1200rpm or lower

fans. from ex or st rads, just not enough to be feasible.

You should be fine with 45mm-60mm. It's more then enough radiator space to run your fans at their lowest speed.

How big can you fit? MONSTA's are about as thick as you can get.

 

Go as thick as you possibly can and if your concerned as big as you're aesthetically accepting of, personally I find MONSTA rads just... fat... but that's just me.

 

The more surface area you can add in theory the higher the cooling efficiency.

I would go with 60mm rads. Not because you will need them but then you will be able to use them for any future builds
