Hi everyone,
This is my first project. I currently have a Hackintosh that is cooled using a Corsair H60. My problem is that the computer is still too noisy at idle.. I want it to be near near silent at idle but the graphics card fan on the GTX 760 prevents that.
So I am thinking of water cooling the whole thing. My case is very small (Silverstone FT-03) so i am wondering if it would be possible to watercool both the GPU & CPU using a single rad to keep case mod to a minimum ? I know the rule of thumb is 1 120 rad per heat source ... but does that hold true with thick rads ? ie .. if I double the thickness do I get 2x the cooling power at same fan rpm ?
All advices welcomed
Thanks
