[SOLVED] Alphacool AIO's

[sobakowa19]

I have an Eiswolf AIO on my RTX 3080, and a 360 AIO from EK on my CPU... im looking to downsize the 011D Evo i currently have to something like the Corsair 4000D. If i got something like the

Alphacool Eisbaer Aurora LT240 CPU - Digital RGB (11678)

and mounted that on the top of that case, could i in theory make a "loop" using the 360mm and the 240mm rads to cool the GPU and CPU?

 

[sobakowa19]

would the pumps be strong enough to do that or would it be good to get a pump/res combo to add in there too?

011D Evo to Corsair 4000D
465mm × 285mm × 459mm to 453mm x 230mm x 466mm
Downsize

That's... those are pretty close.
The radiator size is keeping you from going down in size too much, so you're kinda boned on options.

could i in theory make a "loop" using the 360mm and the 240mm rads to cool the GPU and CPU?

EK's coolers are closed loop, so no, you couldn't do that. You would need to do Alphacool AIOs for both cpu and gpu.

Alphacool says you can add a GPU or radiator without much trouble with the DC-LT2 pump, so that should work.

If you leave in both pumps, then doubly so, you will have a lot more head pressure but the same rough flow rate. You just have to be absolutely certain you get the flow direction correct.

I went with the Eisbaer Extreme core which has a D5 equivalent pump in it to run dual 280mm radiators.
