Watercooling Dual LGA2011

hi there

I'm wondering if I can properly run two 6 or 8 core Xeon E5's (130 Watt TDP each) - once they're out - on a 2x140mm thin (30 up to 45mm max) radiator. I won't need massive overclocking abilities since I believe in SMP :-).

appreciate any advice.

one one radiator? U MAD!? you would need at least a 360 thick rad, probably even more
 
on the other hand, why can i cool a 980X with a crappy old corsair H50 and getting decent temps, at least when not vastly overclocked?

shouldn't i be able to cool two CPU's with a 2x140mm 45mm thick radiator? doesn't need to go below zero in there :-), just run stable, silent and relatively cool at high loads with stock clocks. let's say below 55 C when on heavy duty (such as video encoding for hours and hours).

i simply don't have the necessary room for a thicker or bigger radiator. external cooling is out of the question for me.

can't even fit a NH-D14 now because a primary support beam of the case chassis is in the way.

my goal is it to get an ASUS Z9PE-D8 WS as soon as released and use two Xeon E5-1650 (which is the xeon counterpart for the 3930K) on that.

gotta think about the power supply, too. got an AX1200. i'm not sure wheter this is adequate or not (feeding my two GTX 590's and both CPU's).

should i have to replace it i'll certainly go for a platimax 1500 watt.

how much energy can a 2x140mm rad generally dissipate (if operated with the proper fans)?

You maybe could get away with it with NO overclocking if you have really awesome fans in push pull, like the new noctuas TTL is raving about, but I would try and get another 1 or 2 single 120mm or 140mm rads in there for peace of mind. The good thing about watercooling though is that if it's not good enough, you can always add extras in, and parts are very easy to sell if you want to replace them

Basically try it, I'm sure we will all be intersted to know how much heat the new xeons make - who knows?
