radiator size question...

KayinStorm · 14-June-04, 07:19 PM

I've got a passel of parts here, after a nice deal I made, and I have a question...

I have a Black Ice Micro, a Mission Crossover block, a dual bayres, and a Mag 3. Is this sufficient for mild overclocks? Nothing major, just to quiet down the system and for c00l factor. Anything bigger would require a better rad I know, but it's a Lian-Li and I don't want to cut more than I have to...

As it stands, my idle temps are 50 C, which is NOT good. I just need something more efficient than air, That's all I want right now, not an OC beast cooler...

Sure, as long as you don't get carried away and pair it with a decent fan. Swiftech sells enough systems with a similiar rad. 3000's run hot, I'd try and keep the voltage as close to stock as possible. Anything more and it's going to heat up very fast.

declocked it, and it's at 1.6Vcore now.

Basically, it's to restore it to reliability, in the middle of the day, it reboots... and reboots, and reboots...

so 2210 is about the best OC right now...

But with the looks and the performance, the little kit will do me just fine...

Is all that gear 3/8"?

when I finish changing barbs-U.S. Plastics is about 30 minutes from here...

Need to change bayres and pump.

You are going "to" or changing "from" 3/8"?

To, so all barbs are the same size. No need to create unnecessary bottlenecks.
