In fact i dont know why you said in your previous post they cant be mixed or where you hear it

Going by what everyone kept saying of "never mix metals in a WC loop

I bet they said never mix metals but i hope they didn't say never mix Cooper + Nickel, in every Watercooling Loop i have built there is always Cooper + Nickel and so far never had issues.

Cheers Knoxx,

Phill you're right, checked EK, each 480*60 is rated for just over 1000w each so both rads will total 2kw of cooling power.

So I'm pretty sure/certain that one should cool down the GPU's

Unless you're wanting the new Xeon for $4000 and needing the chiller to go with it, I'm sure a quad rad for that would be fine for the CPU as well

lol

Just get an ld-v10 and be donw with it

Put a quad rad in for the gfx loop

Just as a heads up psu isn't enough if you ever run the cpu with an oc and it is under load while the gpus are.

Is that another upgrade requirement??

Hellfire · Dec 31, 2018

What the OCing? or the rolling on the floor lol

phill · Jan 1, 2019

Well that and the new PSU for the overclocking

Lol I only got the 1300w because it was on sale for £10 more than the 1000w so yeah

plus 1000w doesn't give a lot of headroom for my future plan

phill · Jan 1, 2019

I would have hoped that a 1300w unit would be more than enough for what you have to run.. Have you tested the cards to see what power they would take in stock format?

Just as a heads up at 4.2 the CPU pulls 860w at the wall from a prime platinum 1200w. I have a vega FE and it can pull every single bit of 400W when you let it.

Stock the cards pull 275w each, but stock is boring ;-)

The case is much much bigger in person.

But I take it that's your 2990WX rather than a 9900k?? I'd hope that wouldn't pull all that power :eek:

But 64 threads......

Yea that's the 2990wx. That's also with an overclock. Stock really isn't that bad.

Hellfire · Jan 1, 2019

yeah if the "leaked" specs for ryzen 3000 are to be believed I'll be looking at the cpu is 135w.

So
CPU 150w (safe margin of error)
GPU1 340w
GPU2 340w
Mobo 100w

So I bull parked Mobo wattage based on EKWB and a guestimate.

And given CPU and GPU's won't be at 100% together, even still that's under 1000w of heat, in a over 2000kw loop.

So plenty of cooling, was tempted to add two extra 360 x 65 mm rads in the roof, for shits and giggles but nah

Deciding between Hard and soft tubing now.

Soft until you know your configuration won't change.

Well I know the config won't change any time soon as it's all knew kit. Next change will be 2-3 years then a GPU change.

Also for looks I'll be using angled connectors so only need straight pipes.

Can you mix soft/hard as one bit I may want soft for ease
