Skiss of my 932 Watercooling setup

[grandpatzer]

So I made this skiss in photoshop and wonder if It is doable and if there are any errors in it?

I have the original 932 the picture is the new but I think they are same dimension.

Why a 240rad in the bottom.A single thick 360 is enough for this setup.

I already have 2 radiators and will not spend money on a thick 360.

360 is: 396 x 120 x 45 mm

240 is: 276 x 123 x 47mm

You blowing (heheheh) them bottom fans down?

I'm worried if I blow the 240 into the case the GPU's get hot?

Also maybe I keep my non-ref 6950 and watercool them instead, in that case the VRM's need case fan for air(the big door fan)

Your GPU won't be effected. But the whole case will warm up. But as you have 3 fans up top then they are just blowing out the heat.

Back 120 would be good as well.

Don't forget you have to be able to suck in as much as you are pushing out.

a single thick 360 rad I doubt will handle a pair of 7970 and cpu mate.

the 360 240 should be close to handling the heatload. but with the fans down I doubt you'll pull in enough air to adequately cool both rads. you'll need the bottom as intake with the front 230mm and the rest on exhaust with the door 230mm as intake as well everything should have ample air to do its job.

Thanks for this post helped me a lot

So would you say I can run the fans at low 500-700 rpm for low noise doing this:

Having the top 360 pushing air out, having bottom 240 rad pushing air in.

The 2 Haf 230mm fans side and front both as intake.

so then there is 4 intake fans (2x 120 + 2x 230)

There also is 3 exhaust fan (3x 120)

There is also space for a fan in rear 120 or 140mm, maybe this should be intake for cooler rad?

More fans = more noise no matter how low RPM you have them on.

If you are running hot stuff you need good fans. Cheap ones = more noise than expensive ones.

That is true, however my Scythe slip stream 500rpm I can't hear.

Not sure how the Gentle Typhoon are but I think that 500rpm or 800rpm is low noise.

You have to take in account the airflow restriction of the radiators. The lower you set your fans the lower the air flow is from them, add to that the restriction to the air flow from the radiators and the air flow is even less.

I doubt at 500 - 700 rpm you will get decent temps especially whilst gaming or doing anything to put your PC on load. The rads you are using are pretty slim as well which means they need a higher amount of air flow to get rid of the heat so i'd say you are looking to have your fans between 800 - 1200+ rpm.
