so im trying to replace my old thermaltake 120mm rad that lives in the bottom of my Haf 922.
i was wondering if the monsta is that much better than a standard 140mm rad "its a lot fatter"
i cant fit anything larger than a 140 at the bottom...
i already have a 240 mounted at the top.
and i removed one of my other 120's for the asthetics.
i want to get a 140 to help make up for it.
i am also planning on going 90% accrylic tubing after i have it done. As i have a bay res i will have 2 pvc tubes in the loop any way so i can slide it in and out for filling..
any way basically im trying to find the best 140mm rad i can it dosent matter if its restrictive because as i said already ditched a 120mm because it was making it look a mess. and causing some pipes to kink.. this just will not do..
Currently only cooling my cpu "very well may i add" but i will be trying to liquid cool my next gpu which i will buy when/if my 7850 sells "it has a stupid issue so i dont know if it will sell. and is also the reason i am selling it and not just water cooling that"
any ideas would be nice.
i tend to use 10mm ID tubing with G4 fittings if that helps narrow things down although fittings will eventually get changed out due to the accrylic. but as i said 2 tubes in the loop will remain 10mm id pvc.
in case any one is wondering the loop will go.
res down to pump down to 140mm rad up to gpu up to cpu up to 240mm rad across to res.
possibly later on it will go:
res down to pump down to 140mm rad up to gpu up to 80mm rad across to cpu up to 240mm rad across to res.
if i do go for a extra 80mm rad "which i most probably will" it will be a alphacool nexxxos xt45
i do like to use THE MOST possible rad space available to me so i can have the fans on silent even after heavy over clocking and running IBT for 3 hours.
My main concerns with cooling is Temperatures at high over clocks. Noise levels under extreme load (IBT) and then in a very very VERY distant 3rd asthetics. although i will not mount rads outside my case they have to fit inside. and not impeed functionalit and accessibility to an extent where i have to drain the loop to do something..
