I'm going to build a custom watercooling loop for my gaming pc. The main purpose for which I'm going to watercool is silence. I don't care if temps go as high as 70 degrees, i just want peace.
My Configuration
Case: Corsair 780t
Mobo: Rampage V Extreme
Cpu: i7-5960X @4GHz @1.25volts 180W
Gpu: 2xTitan X maxwell 500W
Psu: ax1500i
Drive: Samsung 960 pro NVMe (with aluminium heatsink on the controller)
My watercooling configuration
2x 280mm rads EK Coolstream CE 280
2x Gpu EK waterblock
Cpu EK supremacy evo wb
D5 Pump radiator combo EK
Soft tubing
Case fan mounts:
2x140 top
2x140 front
2x120 bottom
1x140 rear
My doubt is wether to put the two radiators in exhaust configuration with the front one with 2 120mm fan giving air to him and the rear one with only a single 140 intaking air; OR the front radiator in intake and the top in exhaust.
The problem with the 1st hypothesis is the fans not pulling enought air inside to make the fans on the rads unable to do their job, the problem with the 2nd one is that the front intake radiator is pulling HOT air inside the case and all the other components (Ram, Pch, VRM and 960 PRO) and the other radiator will have VERY HOT air with the heat coming both from the front rad and the other components; I want to recall to mind that each radiator will be dissipating almost 350 watts, so it is not the scenario of the h100i cooling a 95W processor that doesn't heat up the air, NO. And my radiators are low restriction low fins per inch.
What would you suggest to do (DO NOT BASE ON TEST RUN WITH AIOs COOLING ONLY THE CPU, please)?
