Whats the combined heat output (watts) of these components?
I was wondering if anyone knew the combined heat output in watts of a these components
8800gtx (x2) amd am2 +6000 average northbridge I just need approx ballpark amounts, because this way i can choose the proper radiator for my liquid cooling system. Note that all listed components will be significantly overclocked. Thanks for any help/ knowledge Tiki |

I hate to be that guy, but it really determines on your set up and case. (All numbers are listed from idile temp to full load temps) On average you can look at the 8800 at 60-75C, AM2 at around 30-50C and the MB being at about 30-40c.
Now those are about as normal ballparck as you can get, like I said before these numbers can be very elastic for individual systems. For example my MB temp runs higher than normal because my 8800 GTX sits over the chipset. I have a ASUS A8N-Sli Deluxe. Just one of those things. Besides that if you are setting up an H20 rig for the first time I would ask more specifically for help and suggestions on which radiators and pumps to buy. From what I have heard you can really hinder your cooling by getting a combo that doesn't work well together. Or buying a cheaply made reg, you can actaully increase your temperatures from what they used to be air cooled. Last edited by jgilbreath04; 07-20-2007 at 11:44 AM. |

If you look on here it is 125w thermal heat output for the CPU.
I'll do some looking for 8800s and some chipsets see what i can find. Edit: Can you specify a mobo/chipset? Last edited by HaloAddict19; 07-20-2007 at 03:10 PM. |
