Hi Guys,
I have been taking my cooling to its final step this weekend so thought it may be of interest for folks to have a bit of a reference topic as to how a few things work out.
The system:Case: Corsair Obsidian 800D
Mobo: Asus Maximus Extreme IV - Z
CPU: Intel Core i7-2600K @ 4.8ghz
GPU: 3 x Sapphire Radeon 7970's running standard clocks
(for now)RAM: 16GB of Corsair Vengeance 1866MHz
HDD: 2x OCZ Vertex 3 Sata 6 SSD
PSU: XFX Pro 1250w Black gamer Edition
Cooling & MonitoringCPU Block: EK Supreme HF Plexi EN
Radiator: 1 x EK Coolstream XT 360mm Copper Fins - Single Circuit
Reservoir: XSPC Acrylic Dual 5.25 with pump inside
Pumps: Alphacool VPP655 - D5 Pump
Rad Fans: 3 x Scythe Gentle Typhoon 1850RPM - AP15s.
Case Fans: 3x Corsair 140mm fans.
Coolant: Feser Aqua - Ultra Pure Water
Ok,
So what I propose to do is as follows:
- Run the NEW Aida64's system stability test for 10mins as it is now and got a screenshot.
- Install my new radiator and fans and repeated the test and got another screenshot to see what the extra cooling area does for the CPU (if anything).
- Installed my EK waterblocks on the 7970's and again, repeated the exact same 10min test.
- Run the same test again, but with no fans. (Passive)
The radiator being added is a
Phobya Extreme Supernova 1260.The 4 x 200mm fans being installed on it are the
Cooler Master MegaFlow 200If anyone has any usefull comments or suggestions I would love to hear them.
