Would I be able to watercool my build with one radiator? Trying to save some space inside my case. Components to watercool: 3960x 580 GTX ASUS RIVE The radiator is a Watercool HTF4 3 x 140 Dims: 495 x 152 x 65mm If so would it have to be push/pull? Thanks
I will probably be overclocking the CPU to 4.4GHz - 4.6GHz Fans, there will be 5 x 140MM 1200RPM Phanteks case fans and 3 or 6 (if push pull) 140mm 1200RPM Phanteks on the radiator, preferably just 3 of those due to space, although it is just about possible. Desirable temps, not bothered as long as they are in a safe range. A 420mm radiator won't fit. Thanks
if You not temperature-phobic - thick 360-420 would do the job. temps would be in a safe range but higher than most LCer likes i've read some negative feedback on phanteks fans - noisy, low pressure, low CFM - maybe You consider another fans - thermalright or good old GT with adapter?
3 x 140mm is 420, of course, always has been... doh. Thanks for that. Phanteks are mostly aesthetic, 19db, not as bad as some.
here fans tested on phanteks CPU cooler are much louder than thermalright ty-140 on same speed... and for rads best 140 mm fan - gt with 120>140adaptor
if you have a space between fan and radiator (spacer block not an actual space) you improve the flow of air through and that helps reduce the temp further.
