q9550 + water cooling

[noobieocer]

hi, middle of buying some wc stuff so just post this to check a few things.

i currently buying a HE120.3 and delta v2 for £45, just wondering would it cope with a oced q9550 and a 260GTX.

i also got a DDC pro 10w, just wondering would that struggle with delta v2 and a 260 water block.

Id say with reasonable fans you should be fine there matey tbh.

o ty, so pump okay too? any fans u recommend? i need em to be silent

Id get some Yate Loons mate tbh, and the pump will be ok for what you have now dude.

They will never be 100% silent as you need to keep that rad cool.

I'm using Xilence on my rad atm, not bad for £5 a pop. I used to have SilenX which are amazing fans but have a tendency to die.

If money is no object go for Noctua - amazing performance and very quiet only problem is some people aren't keen on the colour.

HE are the older ones, iirc a pa120.2 is better than them with lower speed fans and the v2 is the older version, it wouldn't cost alot more to get the better rad and v3 block

He's on a budget mate, the HE is the older one and is slightly thinner and doesnt cool quite so well, what he asked is will it do the trick.... And it will do him fine, theres no need for him to get a smaller rad, the HE will be on par if not better then the pa120.2. Plus you cant really get hold of thermo rads to easily atm, not shops have them its used stuff only and they get alot of interest so the price ends up quite high.

I actually like the colour scheme of the Noctua's

Hehe but the question is; do you like the price?

 

[tinytomlogan]

Most definately not

Yate Loons ftw price and performance wise
