Posted December 13, 2016 the general rule for custom watercooling is to have 120mm radiator space for every component + an additional 120mm. so you would need 2 240 or 1 480mm radiator to have ideal temps. it could possibly also work with just a single 240 rad, but your temps will probbaly be worse than the stock air coolers on your cards. -Phoenix- -VouwFabriek- -SolidNAS- BlackMac Woody Clack Virtuality Lil'Lad Plot-Device Boerderij all your proteins are belong to us.
