Boxing Rig - Watercooled Titan Xp, lots of photos

Neat.

So I'm cooling an overclocked i7-6700k and overclocked Titan XP on a single 240 rad.. temps and noise are fine!

I'm curious about this, since everyone's definition of "fine" is different. What speed are the fans running at? Are they audible? Are they on a PWM curve? What are the temps under load after 30 minutes of gaming, and then after 60 minutes of actual gaming? You might also be able to get a fair estimate from just running something like Unigine Valley on a loop for 30-60 minutes to see where everything falls. I say "fair," simply because Valley doesn't chew through a lot of CPU, but it's not sitting there idle, either.

I ask because , from what I've read in several threads across the internet while I was doing my research on water-cooling, 120mm of radiator per component is the bare minimum, and you can expect to dissipate ~150W of heat, at most, per 120mm of radiator—"at most" referring to having the fans turned up very high, if not 100%.

At stock, the Titan-X you have can consume up to 250W worth of power, and a (we'll assume) mildly overclocked 6700K is going to consume over 100W, so right there you're potentially dumping 350W worth of heat into the water. If you never stress your system then I guess this would be fine, but I would also guess that if you were stressing your system for longer periods of time, the temps would either continue to increase rather than level off, or your fans would reach jet engine mode (fan curve dependent).

Personally, when I originally asked around if I could cool ~650W worth of hardware on a 360mm radiator, I was told there was no way that would work unless I wanted my fans turned up to 100% when actually using the hardware.

Ok the 'fine' comment came mostly from before I recently started multiboxing again, I had enabled quiet fan settings in the past - I think I've lost those since and need to revisit.

Earlier today when multiboxing 5 x WOW outside stormwind AH (been playing all day), the fans were at 2000RPM and the CPU is at just under 40C - this was quite audible though it's become white noise to me and so I zone it out mostly.

However I will take a look at the settings right now, trying fix RPM at 1350.

IDLE PC - at 1350 RPM it's more of a murmur,

I'm going to leave this running 5 x wow outside stormwind AH and see what happens if I leave the fans at 1350
