NEW GPU Water Block questions with new pix on page 2 :P

[Soullessone21]

Is it safe to use just 1 rad on my system?

System
AMD FX8150 EK Block on it
EK Dual 120mm rad with 4 Noctua Fans on it
EK Multi inlet outlet Reservoir
Now for the odd part of the setup
6970 CUII with Stock cooler fans Removed and 2 RASA GPU blocks where the fans were.

Should I get another Rad for between the CPU and GPU?

I am using a Chaser Thermaltake case

Oh and Swiftech MCP350 Pump.

I will get pix once I decide to get another rad or not haha


Okay scratch above idea now I just want to get a block on the GPU get shiny Vram heat sinks all over it move my big 240mm ran to right on top the GPU and let er fly.

Issue is I dont trust the work I do with watercooling(So new to using water it scares me)

So this weekend will be the maiden voyage as I plan to get it finished tomorrow night and them unhook my laptop from my desk and bring back my AMD gaming tower.

Any help or advice is really appreciated :)

So are you running two videocards? If so then no. It won't be fine.

just one 6970 they have stock 2 fans I removed the 2 fans and put water blocks in their place cuz I was bored and got the waterblocks for Xmas

I'm a little confused, is it one GPU with two blocks, or two GPUs, two blocks?

Normally it is suggested 120mm/component. I would suggest another 120, or even a 240 if you are cooling 2 gpus.

Edit: I see your post

I would think it is OK, in that case.

Let us know what tempos are sounds like a crazy setup

set-up them in parelle if blocks are same or a full cover WB in series

rez>pump>cpu> -<gpu's>-or straight for full cover>rad

note still need air flow for ram vrm to cool if not full cover not used

You can have 2 blocks on one card?... :O I guess it would be okay since the heat of those two blocks are shared from the same chip. Shouldn't hurt to test out the temps and upgrade the rad if you need to in the future. I'd just get a full cover block for your card if there is though. Then: CPU + GPU on a dual rad is perfectly fine.

Whos ready for pix of my card haha??

I just tor it all a apart and am now thinking bolt it onto the fins or... Dermal down the fins and fit the blocks in really tight to the copper tubes?

This is more for fun then anything as I have 2 7970's on order and I plan to use this card in my AMD FX system while the 7970's go with my 3960x system.

So what next? do you think it will work bolted to the fins of the stock cooler or is it going to work much better sanded down and pushed onto the copper tubes?

I don't know but to me that looks a little sketchy.

[Soullessone21]

they are not attached yet getting a new grinder tomorrow and fitting the water blocks down into the fins

I'll admit that I'm not great at this stuff but it just doesn't seem like its a good idea, Somebody will correct me if I'm incorrect but i feel this setup would be lacking in physical contact with the fins to be very effective? Would this give better or worse heat transfer then the fans?

Interesting idea and has my mind working :)
