Haf 932 with cpu loop for now

[grandpatzer]

So I'm about to build my first watercooling ever and currently thinking where to place all the parts.

The reason why I considered watercooling is because of noise from GPU, I find that even the best air coolers are not silent enough for GPU's.

For now I'll build CPU loop and hopefuly I can easily add a 7970, I think it might be enough with just a 360 rad.

In future I propable will have crossfire 7970 and then my thin 360 rad is propably not enough any longer so I need to add more radiators.

bro a thin rad will not handle a cpu and gpu. I understand for now ur doing cpu only but try and buy for future expansion if cost is an issue get yourself the RX360 kit it has everything you need for a cpu only loop minus the liquid. This way you already have the thick 360rad for when you upgrade. Plus with crossfired cards ur gonna want a decent rad for those as well.

I currently run the RX360 kit in my 932 advanced it will support a thick rad in the roof in push pull with ease. My temps are 32-35c idle and about 60-64c loaded I am running pull only atm at med speed with a fan controller. I am about to undertake adding my 570 to the mix in a separate loop using the same pump and rez (different from the XSPC kits) and I'll be adding in another rad min to assist in temps.

I already have all the stuff, so no point in getting RX360 kit unless I sell everything besides the rx360.

I would rather not invest in alot of expensive stuff, my goal is to install the 240 that I already own to the bottom of the case.

Atleast hopefuly 360 + 240 handles 1 cpu 100w + 1 gpu 200w (total tdp 300w stock speed)

I would think a 360 and 240 should handle cpu and 1 gpu pretty decently. if you go that route first you'll see what temps are easily and be able to judge if the 2nd gpu will affect temps much. But heres a thought run what ya got for now and if temps are warm then look into getting a thick 360 later and sell off ur thin one

Yeah true that, I might even look at external rad solutions but obiously having internal thick rads is more practical even though I don't expect moving Haf 932 alot as it's a bit heavy.

Heavy is an understatement mate
