Longtime lurker preparing components for my first custom loop T1. I know @fabio did a 2x240mm rad build with a Magicool G2 and a TX240 but I was curious if a 2x TX240 build was viable. Since the TX240 performs so well I was thinking to pair two of them together instead of an EKWB Classic or the Magicool G2.
Now I really want to do it. I just hope I can remember how to put the cooler back into my card.
i get it! I keep buying more WC stuff and keep changing setups in my T1.

thanks for the info! HK to DE in 4 days is crazy. DHL is FAST. ?Here’s to hoping China Post pass it off to Canada Post sooner rather than later ?
I think W360 might be referring to a single 240mm radiator not being able to support the heat output of a 3950x and a 3090. A 240mm AIO will be fine for a 3950x as far as I know.
I’m running a 240 with a 3950x and no issues at all.
This is how my T1 going to be for the next 7-10 days ? Only CPU in the loop for now, Big Navi Liquid Devil can't come soon enough.
If everything goes well, will do various testing for the fans on top of the radiator (Scythe Slipstream 2000RPM, A12x15 and A12x25). Ultimately will be the Scythe fan on top, already dry fit it and top panel closes easily without any bulge.

I’ve done it in 2slot GPU with offset PSU, I assume it would be possible in 3Slot GPU. I have the PSU as close to front panel as possible. I believe it squeezes very slightly. 10/16 ZMT tubing.Hi all, I'm planning my routing for my custom loop. I saw this image somewhere (pretty sure it's an earlier build from @fabio ?).
I was wondering if anybody has done that route from CPU to GPU with 10/16mm tubes, specifically also in 3-slot mode:
no info yet so no idea, but will make it work anyway LOL (if it continues to be EK-collab then terminal rotary to the rescue!)
And I'm still waiting for Freeflow & Distro plate ?

Hey! I’ve tried with 2 TX240 in that configuration, and for me was impossible, I’ve explained also on Reddit why.
BUT, maybe, rotating 180degrees the side radiator as I had it in the 240+120 side rad, can work!
But was such a complex and weird connection that I am not confident to suggest ?
TX240's are tough to come by at the moment so I might just go Magicool at the moment. You posted on reddit that the G2 seems to be the OEM version of the EKWB and the performs should be equal? For the top rad given that fitting another TX240 might be tough it looks like the Magicool/EKWB are the best bet here. Or are there other radiators I should consider?
It’s not about the radiator. It’s the ports position that create some clearance issue! Any rad between 20 and 27 is fine. EKWB Classic or Alphacool ST25 or Magicool doesn’t matter. The TX perform a bit better, but we can say just 2/3 C.
Average, two of them beat a single 240 though.
2080ti, 9900k, two hj’s with 25mm ans 15mm’s give fluids delta of approx 15c. Component temps in mid 50’s. While gaming
Probably a stupid question, but what is causing the directly conflicting reports by Navic and fabio about the viability of 120mm radiators?
There are so many variables. Navic running a 3600, fabio running a 3900X, so two very different processors with very different TDPs. One would think that, if a 120mm AIO is ok on a 3900X, then it should be more than adequate on a 3600, but it appears that isn't the case. Different programs to stress the CPU. Just to name a couple. (I'm sure they're also using different mobo's, vid cards, etc etc etc. Different ambient temps etc etc)
BTW, I wanted to test a custom 120 loop against the 120 AIO, and OF COURSE, there is NO difference.
Here the temp of the custom loop and the pics!
I've used the latest Eisbaer LT block found in the 92mm kit, that has the Nickel Plated coldplate.
I've also switched the included pump with the new DC-LT (Is more silent though).
The radiator is a 30mm Alphacool ST30.
