Do I need another rad to extend my Eiswolf GTX-Pro loop to my Intel 6700K CPU?

Hi!

I've got an AMD Radeon VII with a Eiswolf GTX-Pro M02 and I also have an Intel 6700K with a Corsair AIO unit (can't remember the model, but it's a 120mm push/pull setup.

I might want to replace the 5 year old CPU AIO by extending it into the Eiswolf loop, but will I need another radiator?

Oh, and what would be a good block to put on the CPU? Presumably one with a pump, right? The GPU pump can't push water round that bigger loop?

*thinks*

So do all pumps have to be pumping at exactly the same flow rate? (I'm sorry, I'm new to the world of custom loops!)

Thank you!

Short question: Which Eiswolf version are you running exactly? It is certain that you will need 2x240 radiators when integrating a CPU cooler. The pump of your Eiswolf will not be able to handle this. The simplest & probably also cheaper solution would be to integrate a Alphacool Eisbaer 240 CPU AIO. Then you have enough radiator surface and sufficient pump capacity for cooling the CPU and GPU.

Hello, Thomas!

Thank you for your fast reply!

It is an Eiswolf 240 GPX-Pro for the Radeon VII. The second release

2x240 rads is a lot! Would it all fit into my case? It is a Corsair Graphite 760T

According to the manufacturer, you can fit a 240mm radiator in the front and a 240mm radiator on the top. This should not be a problem in regards to space.

Thank you for that.

This would require me removing the 2x 120mm fans that are currently intaking air to the case. Would you configure the front to pull air in and the top to push air out?

yes, that's how I would do it ;-)
