RX 240 / H220 Radiator / GTX580 EK FULL COVER BLOCK
The next thing that most people will add to a water cooling loop is their GPU. I just happen to have a couple of GPU’s and blocks laying around, so I decided to throw one into the loop and see if the pump Swiftech put in the H220 is really strong enough to deal with the restriction of a CPU and GPU block. Both radiators were used in this test.
The first thing I did was to run IBT again to see how the GPU block in the loop would affect our CPU temps with such a high overclock still applied.
Results:
Ambient temps: 22.78C/73F
Max overclock: 5.0 ghz/1.480V vCore (Did not lower, just a minute fluctuation)
IBT temps: 76.25C core average
As you can see adding the GPU block did increase our temps. Fortunately it was only by 2 degrees celsius. We are still well inside the temperature limits for our CPU.
Next I ran the Uningine Valley Benchmark set on the Extreme HD preset for one run and recorded the temperatures after:
Ambient temps: 22.78C/73F
Max overclock: 5.0 ghz/1.480V vCore (Did not lower, just a minute fluctuation)
Uningine Valley CPU temps: 54.75C core average
Uningine Valley GPU temps: 44C
Not bad at all considering this is very similar to what you would see while gaming on this setup. I am very impressed with these results considering all the restriction we have in the loop.
