What rad setup should i get?

[Air tree]

Well i'm going to get the Phanteks enthoo primo case and i was wondering what kind of rad setup i should get?

 

It can hold up to 2 480mm rads one in the bottom and one in the top and a 240mm in the front. Do you think i should with the biggest rads i can? Or what do you think would be optimal?

 

Or should i be like "I MUST HAVE ALL THE RADS"

 

 

And here is the inside of the case.

EDIT sorry i thought i listed my parts, I will be using cooling a 9970 and a 4670k.

You should be like "I MUST HAVE ALL THE RADS"

A parts list would help?

R-290/R-290x and a 4670k.

In other words:

R-290/R-290x and a 4670k.

Basically...

wait till the card comes out before you decide on whether it's even a good idea to get it.

Well It does come with free games so it will be very unlikely i will change my mind and i doubt amd will be underpowered.

 

Even so the card i'm getting shouldn't change the what rads i'm getting so lets stay on topic.

I would say big as you can go for the top and 240 in the bottom/front.

Nvidia might..you know..have reasonable prices when the 9000 series comes out.

Heck when waterblocks for the 9xxx series come out we'll probably see releases of GTX 800 specs

Waterblocks really take that long to come out :blink:

Well depends! Maybe a week maybe a month. Especially if youll be buying aftermarket designs.

Well that shouldn't be too bad since i still have to make some extra cash for this custom loop.

 

 

And from what i have seen

 

More rads = More better

 

Just not sure if it's redundant when your talking about 1 graphics card and a cpu. If i go with the x2 480mm rads the one 240mm would be kinda of pointless?

That's definitely the way to go, more rads. But there bus a limit where more rads stops getting exponentially better

Im not the WC expert so rad surface area is NOT my expertise.

Howver if you need any mod advice...

So do you think the 1 last 240mm rad is worth it if i plan to put 2 480mm in anyways?

No. I f you're going to put 2 480's in then adding the extra 240 will give you an absolute mess of tubing and fittings as well as all the extra fans and fan cables you will need

With the never settle bundle yes it does come with "Free games" that i will sell for extra money for my build and or spend on steam sales.

 

Would you mind explaining to me what was wrong with my sentence?

Nothing is wrong. I just had the impression u wanted a R9-290 cos of freebies(games). That's my only implication. I apologize if I have misunderstood.

Edit: I think it's cheapskate like to buy something for freebies.

[Prophet of Entropy]

for a single gpu and cpu a 480 rad would be plenty

No it was more of a "Well  we are expecting the R-290 to be already good so free games is icing on top" That's what i was meaning more than anything.

 

 

Anyways no problems.
