Is a 360 Rad enough?

[AOGames]

Okay so I going to be watercooling my computer soon just to get that extra silence

And was wondering If a single 360 rad would be enough I do not overclock

I have an I7 5820k and  R9 390 in a Define S case. 

and also is hardline worth it and easy enough for a first time watercooler

 

Thank you in advance

You don't need to water cool if you're not going to overclock. Air might even be quieter.

 yes it will be enough, and hardline there are enough tutorials that if you research and order enough stock too practce with you should be fine,  but there are no prefoamance benifits to hardline over soft tubing.

Your system will always be as silent as your loudest fan. Is your R9 390 too loud and/or your CPU cooler? Pretty sure the soft tubing is easier to do

[DXMember]

if you're doing bends then hardline is pretty complicated, time consuming and requires some specific tools

if you use angled fittings (they can cost a lot) you can get away without bending

it looks better aestetically, regarding performance there is no difference

 

that being said I have seen "soft" tube rings done very tasteful

 

and yes 360 rad will deffinately be enough you'll probably be able to lower the fans to something like 600RPM or lower and run passive at idle?

 

 

 

)) for the saying "measure seven times, cut once" here's a funny story

(workshop class gets an assigment to make a chair, techers tells them - 'and remember kids, make sure to measure seven times and cut only once',

the special kid ends up with all his measurements multiplied by 7)

My 390 fans are really loud for some reason I tried changing the fan curve to no prevail

I am also going for a better look overall with watercooling

I dont overclock because I worked hard to get the PC I want and I want it so last as long as possible so and chance for that I take

it wont shorten lifespan that badly.. by the time the cpu or gpu would die you would of upgraded hardware

Okay so that is exactly what I want to hear the lower the fans the better

This is a solid point and I understand that but my last cpu the 8350 I over clocked to 4.6 which imo is a modest overclock for that chip and it died in 8 months so that is a huge reason why I stop overclocking

voltage?

[AOGames]

voltage?

I honestly dont remember but I sure that was the bigger factor Its just not something I want to risk plus overclocking is not for everyone and I am one of those people 

but back to my question I seems as though a 360 would be enough according to the other forum members would you agree to that assessment?

yes i do however, if your not overclocking i dont see the point in a custom watercooling loop

There are multiple points however I wont argue them if overclocking is important to you then thats amazing is just not important to me everyone has their own style thats just part of being different

Ye a 360 is pretty rad

No, get a 420 and a 360, enjoy the silence.
