Cooling for a I7 920

[MarkOne]

Ok I'm in the stage to prepare my 920 for folding, I have here 1 swiftec 2x120 rad with build in reservoir and also a swiftech 1x120 with a reservoir too. so it give me the equivalent of a swiftech 3x120

do you thing is enough to cool my 920 or I better set for a better rad, I have a quad one , but It will be last resort I keep it for my Mozart

I want to add that i don't like high temps, we talk about 4ghz OC here.

a good double will do it with good fans. my 920 is at 3.8 idles at around 40 maxs at 76 with an ambient of 26c oh i use a mcr320. it's always hot in my house. the wife

it will be in the garage. in that room the temp is 10'C now but in summer it will rise , I may just have to change the rad at that time.

wow um 10c nice. how much do you think it will rise cause i don't think you'll have a problem with the rad/s you have but only summer will tell haha.

Actually I'm thinking to put the rad in a tank with running water in summer. I just have to throw a water pipe in the lake and remove it in fall. my wife will even be able to use it for water her plants.

wicked nice freezing well water on it all summer will make temps no problem at all. can't wait to see what temps you get.cool

the water at the bottom of a lake is always at 4'C ( if the lake is deep enough ) the more the water is cold the more heavy ( dense it is ) until it reach 4'C under than get a little bit less dense. But I will use a Pump , I don't want it run 24/7 it will cost to much in electricity, and over heating too, I can not throw a submersible pump in the lake, It can be too dangerous if someone cut the electric wire. I don't want also condensation, so I will adjust the flow for keep the tank may be at 20'c . don't know I will experiment, not to much info on that on the web
