When I originally bought my new Sapphire HD 2900XT, I had intended to put some quiet air cooling on it like the Thermaltake HR-03/R600. But, things have changed and I decided to watercool this sucker. Trouble is, my CPU loop is exactly how I want it right now and I don't think it could handle the addition of a GPU block from a hot running 2900XT.
So, I ordered up a complete separate loop just for the vid card consisting of a Swiftech MCW60 block, MCP350 pump, and MCR120 rad. Just gonna make a T-line and plumb the loop with some extra 3/8" tubing I have laying around. My case is huge and if I measured correctly, I can fit it all of the second loop in with no problem.
Input? I'm assuming a 1X120mm rad can handle a single vid card. But, what if I decide to go crossfire later. Think this loop could handle a second MCW60 block? Is this a crazy idea? Who else has a separate loop for their vid card(s)?
