Stacking Rads

[Billy_Mays]

Is it possible to do that or is it bad for temps because I'm going to make a PC build in a really confined space (doesn't have space for a ATX mobo 12"x9.6") and I have to use a riser card to have the GPU in because it's not even 5" high so a Matx or Mitx board has to be used and the demensions are 13" long 9.25" wide 4" high 

 

Mods feel free to move this picked wrong section but I ranted on the build I wanted to do so move it to builds in planning

As in 2 rads with 1 set of fans? Don't do that, iirc it performs the same as just 1 rad.

No one set of fans with rads stacked

How are you going to get the middle fans screwed into both rads or push both rads together?

Yah, that's what he was saying (I think). It won't work well unless you have some very strong and loud fans.

I'm going to have a way to have them so tubing can go in and out and have them offset a little bit

Here's some supplied testing

it would probably be better to buy a very thick rad, otherwise the second rad will perform poorly

The graphs don't make that much sense to me can you try and explain what are the bars doing?

How about heat will it be bad because I'm going to do this later on early next year

Ok and will Ryzen do much with a possible 770 if I can find a water block?

Yeah I don't want to get universal cover there ugly but I'll be getting more future performance once I upgrade

An older night stand drawer and I don't need to do dual rads I only have to ramp up the fan speeds that's it

For a 240mm rad but there isn't any full covers for a 770

Please... please don't don't do a custom loop for a 770 now

No I don't like universal covers and I don't think that water doesn't go that well with lava because water cooling is a little expensive and I change my mind a bit but I'm pretty sure I'm going to be getting Lava themed build
