Option 1 vs Option 2, best Air vs unknown water setup

[WoodButcher]

neat tip marci,
Some where I saw a review of different rads, heat tranfer capacity or capability in watts.
I lost it. any one know where?

Marci, can i link your radiator review over at XS on my sticky in this forum?

It would be a great bit of info for people that want comparisons.


Or can you write it up here, and i can ask the mods if at all its possible to sticky it. Info like the radiator review your crew conducted as well as radicals owns tests are great sources of info.

Common knowledge within w/cing scene - the maximum poss heat output of an item is equal to the maximum power consumption of an item. An E6600 at 3.6Ghz with 1.45v consumes 131w... so at full load will create 131w worth of heat at most. So to summarise the maximum possible heatload of a system, just use a power consumption calculator for each item that you're attaching a waterblock to.
EG: http://www.extreme.outervision.../psucalculatorlite.jsp

omg marci is that calculator correct???

Recommended PSU Wattage: 1517W!?!?!?!? @ 100% peak?

What did you put in there, 20% cap aging and 20% surge comp and multiple PCIe cards?

OK but seriously, what were your settings in there?

4 raptors.
Q6600 @ 3.6 @ 1.50V
2 7900GTX <--- there overvolted to those specs
2 ram.

11 fans
1 fan controler
1 relay.
2 opticals
3 usb

Total comes out to 1517W

I put the same in and got 680W. I have no idea how you got more than twice that Even when I put in 50% cap aging I still only got 1020W.

guys, he doesnt need to prove himself.

Thats the Marci i mention thoughout my posts when i try to back up data thats relavant to watercooling.

He's also a legend over at XS forums. Not to mention owner of thermochill Radiator companys.

Sparky and I can vouch for his credibility.

I will almost take his comments as given fact unless he says something completely outragous. The other people who i can vouch for with little to no post record would be nol, aka noob of leet. There isnt a better person to consult if phase change is in your ball park.

As for marci, he knows his watercooling on a level higher then most people care to take it. And there are a very few people i would hold in his ranking on this knowledge.

Okay, fine! That's good enough for me...

Your word is golden, IMHO!

All hail, Marci!

Welcome aboard...

 

[aigomorla]

actually i stand corrected again.

He's the technical manager, and PR for thermochill.

He's still a high ranked staff for thermochill, and its a great addon.

Anytime any vendor decides to make an account over at this forum is a definite win for the overall community.
