Will one high end triple rad be enough for 3 480s??? Friday, May 14, 2010 5:15 AM (permalink)
Starting next week I'm gonna start picking up my water cooling parts.  I was wondering if one good rad will cut it for 3 of these monsters with a decent OC. 
 
Also does anyone know of any posts showing a similar 3 GPU set ups?
Thanks

    What fans do you plan on using with the rad?  and what rad you looking at a GTX probably could with a decent fan

      A good Black Ice or Fesser rad.  Noise doesn't bother me, so I may use my 3000rpm Scythe fans if I gotta.

          Feser is no longer making rads at this time.  All the current rads are end of life and production has stopped.. if you are going with those fans the GTX 360 should work fine

                My Thermochill PA 120.3 with 3 X Yate Loon D12SH-12 Fans keep my cards at 33C idle and 50C Full Load after looping Vantage for an hour.  So yes a quality 120.3 can handle 3 X 480's.  I have 3 Scythe UK3's sitting here that I am going to throw on in a few days.  That should drop my temps even more.  Here is an excellent chart from XtremeSystems for picking Rad Fans as Air through the Rad is most important not just the amount of CFM it can push.

                    if you are going to be using scythe ultra kaze 3k then i would pass the feser rad and get either a 120x3 or 120x4 black ice extreme, since they have a higher fin density and make better use of higher airflow.  i will be running my 3 470's off of one of the 120x4 rads with 4 scythe uk3 in the next few weeks

                      You need to tone it down abit.  I know what the hell I am talking about.  Unlike many I am not some snot nose 16year old.  I have been OCing and extremecooling PC's for over 14 years.

                        tsk tsk. Anywho i think a good 480 rad would be best if you can fit it, just be sure to have plenty of air flow, if your case is smaller two good 240 rads should do nicely as well.

                            A HW GTX would take full advantage of those UK3s. The Fesser radiators work better with low to mid speed fans though.

                            Fesser isn't going anywhere though as they just released the Monsta Lite which is a overpriced 420 radiator.

                              I don't see any radiators on the feser website at all. Which annoys me as I just spent a lot on two feser 360's... anyway

                                Feser is no longer making rads at this time.  All the current rads are end of life and production has stopped.. if you are going with those fans the GTX 360 should work fine


                                You make it sound as if the Feser rads on the market right now are crap.  It just means that they are not going to make any more of those "types".  If you read their statement they clearly intend on making new rads in the near future:

                                Be sure we will be back soon."

                                  You are really mis reading if you think I said they are crap.  I have 2 360's in my build that I am doing right now from feser and just had 9 of the TK-122 feser fans delivered this week for it.
                                   
                                  But like I stated the current rad are END OF LIFE, they are not producing them anymore and will not be making them period.  They say they are working on something new but till a test site even has pics to leak I will not say word one about it.
                                   
                                  But as many reviews have stated already the feser is beat by the GTX when you are looking to use high RPM fans.  I am no fanboy when it comes to products I will pick what works best for my usage. 
                                   
                                  For the OP's usage he is best going with the GTX since he wants a 360 with a huge heat load and will be using high CFM fans.  I went with the feser as I am using 1800 rpm fans that I will be turning down unless I am running things at 100%
                                   
                                  Feser itself realized that the rads they had are matched by others in many ways and that they are too middle of the road and as such pricing themselves out of the market.  Now if they come out with something that beats a GTX under High CFM or an SR1 under low CFM when they release what ever they are working on great, I will probably own one in the end for a rig down the line.
                                   
                                  I am sure no one can compete with the price os swiftechs tried and true budget rad that can almost run with the big dollar rads.

                                            Yeah all the those Rads get the job done depending on how much air you pass through them.  I was just glad to see that after several years my Thermochill can still hold it's own.  I thought for sure I was going to have to purchase another Rad for my 3 X 480's but as it stands the PA120.3 seems to be handling them just fine.  Right now it's 75F in my Office as we have not turned our air on yet and my idle temps are 33C and after looping Vantage for an hour the cards are 50, 47, 47.  That is simpley amazing to me.  I have some Scythe UK3's I am going to throw on and see if that helps a touch but I doubt it will make much of a difference maybe 1C ..LOL I am currently using Yate-Loon D12SH-12's.

                                              Just so you know, each GTX480 is drawing almost 250W of power each at reference clockspeeds.  The average electrical component is about 20% energy efficient, so the other 80% is heat dump, making 200W per card.  This load is equivalent to a quad-core up in the 4GHz range; you have three of them but at SC speed, and want to use a single triple to cover them all?  I'd atleast recommend a 4x.
                                              How CPU watts relate to degrees? - How can overclocking affect CPU lifespan? - TEC/Peltier definitions, formulas and temperature estimations

                                               
                                              For Intel processors, 0.123 x TDP = Continuous Amps at 12v [source].  This includes around 30% overhead, so it isn't minimum for operation.  TDP is not actual per CPU, it is a range for multiple processors to qualify for the same OEM cooler and power rating, and allows Intel to debut future processors in the same TDP.

                                                I run fesers with the scythe uk3's and they work very well.  I'm adding a x480 with the scythe fans for my two 480's in sli which I hope to have done very soon time permitting.

                                                  I thought for sure I was going to have to purchase another Rad for my 3 X 480's but as it stands the PA120.3 seems to be handling them just fine.  Right now it's 75F in my Office as we have not turned our air on yet and my idle temps are 33C and after looping Vantage for an hour the cards are 50, 47, 47.  That is simpley amazing to me.


                                                  Those are truly amazing temps for 480 Tri-SLI.  What fans do you currently have on that rad?  With those temps I wouldn't even go through the hassle of changing.  That much heat dump, with those three beasts, and seeing those temps are fantastic.
