Rad Choice for CPU and motherboard loop

f0x.

New member
Right chaps, looking for a good Rad for cooling my Q9550, GPU is going back to air cooling with upgrade, so it will only be the motherboard and CPU. The motherboard is a rampage formula x48 with pretty much everything cooled, VRM's, NB and SB.

Was thinking I could get away with a thin dual rad, opinions?
 
Also note theres a hefty OC on the processor.

when you say heafty imho that rules out thin and 240mm rads. I'd go a rx360 kit and add a mobo block it should more than handle it. Also theres an edit option so you dont have to double post

Well, I have a 360 thermochill on the entire loop, and even on full load nothing goes above 40, I think I could maybe get away with a thick dual, as ill be taking the second hottest component out of the loop :L
 
At least a dual. That's non-negotiable. You figured that out already. Is it necessary to pull the 360 out so you can fit something else in? If you're just looking to downsize, most any of the recent non-stealth 240s should do. Stealth 360 could also do the job. Not a GTS though, something that requires less fan speed lol. EX360.
