cpu and gpu liquid cool help - gtx titan

[SeeThruHead]

You should read the stickies.
Off the cuff I would recommend getting as much radiator as will fit in your case, swiftech rads are good, so are alpha cool. Swiftech mcp35x is a great pump. Primo-chill advanced lrt tubing, I like 3/8 x 1/2 but any size will do as long as you buy the appropriate fittings. As for fittings I stick with bitspower compression fittings. Also I use bitspower reservoirs but reservoir choice doesn't impact much. Just make sure that gravity Compels water to flow from the reservoir to the pump inlet. Gt ap15 are good for most water-cooling loops. Couple blocks are mostly personal preference. The ek supreme and xspc raystorm are two good choices at the opposite ends of the cost spectrum.

I'm in Toronto and I buy whatever I can from dazmode. If he doesn't have it I buy from sidewinder and then frozen cpu. Never ship with ups when ordering from the USA, import fees are up to 70 percent of th order cost sometimes. Use usps

i *think* the Cosmos can take a 120.3 (360) rad without too much hassle; but it might be that it has to be 2x 120.2 (two 240) rads.

Need to search the WC forum for "cosmos" & "radiator"

In theory, you could start of with a XSPC Raystorm or Swiftech "basic" 360 kit and later expand on it. However, for lots of "hot" rendering, a 360 might be cutting it short.

On rendering... doesn't Maya like a dedicated specialist GPU like an AMD FirePro or an Nvidia Quadro ? While the Titan is a great card, it is specced for Gaming... you need to take a soldering iron to it and hack its bios to convert it to a Quadro... which takes some steel balls to do that to a $ 1000,- card.

Or switch on double precision and it should be just as good, or at least a lot closer, sans driver support.

You could go with somthing like this http://www.dazmode.com/store/product/ek_complete_watercooling_kit_h3o_360_ltx/

Or go through and pick all the parts
I would go with a D5 pump
a 3x120mm rad ( thick with low FPI )
Then the fans of your choice ( F-12,Gentle typhoons )

Nope, IMOG, I'm not the main admin on this site and don't work for the company who owns this site. I do enuff. I do it my way. I didn't write some of the stickies to repeat myself again and again, on a weekly basis. I don't have the time. And if they don't have the time to treat it as a hobby, then just don't do it.

OP: what screw holes? All watercooling parts have G1/4 BSPP threads.

I was doing this long before I had any relationship with the site. Specifically, in the first five years I was contributing here, the water cooling section was a lot more active and it wasn't dominated by one person using perceived knowledge as a blunt object with which to bludgeon anyone who might pass thru. I just have a hard time watching you do it your way, when I've been here for 11 years, only 3 of them working for the site, and I've never seen water cooling treated as such a big complicated thing as you have treated it the past few years. And I say that despite the fact we used to have regular engineering level discussions about milling our own blocks, designing impingement, and modifying auto parts to suit our purposes.

I take it personally when you discount my opinion for being an employee now, when I have 11 years in the book here. Here's a return volley - you run stock... For most people here, building water cooling isn't only about building water cooling. Its used for better temps and better clocks... Building it is just a means to an end, so for most people they don't need or want an engineering degree to put it together. It just isn't as complicated as someone with your perspective tries to make it. If I can explain liquid nitrogen cooling 90% of the way in a paragraph, we can simplify liquid cooling somewhat more than always building it up to something overwhelming for every. Single. Person.

Not sure if DP was enabled there, but yeah, brutal! LOL!

Why is the GTX 680 beating the Titan? Something doesn't seem right.

From my understanding once the Titan has DP enabled, it blows the old quadros/tesla cards out of the water. It's not too far behind the ones out now.

Matt, I agree with your reasoning that it shouldn't require an engineering degree to get into water cooling. But I do think that part choices are more complicated than LN2 cooling with regarding knowing which fans to get with which radiators, how much radiator you need (and fitting it in a case), block choices, pump choices, tubing choices and lengths, taking into consideration bends and angles and such, not taking into consideration aesthetics. Anyone of us (and I'm not even an avid WCer) can look at a couple separate sites and can guess together a buy-this list, but if the OP won't be putting it together or be taking advantage of the advantages that WCing can offer I don't see much reason to waste the money, personally.

LN2 cooling is put the mobo on a cardboard box, insulate, fill ln2 in thermos, mount pot, and pour and hope you don't kill anything while adding volts and watching temps. Greatly over simplified, but I think that watercooling will require or at least necessitate knowing what is happening and why certain parts were chosen, as well as how to do maintenance on the system.

I honestly think air would be a better choice for the OP as he won't be overclocking, doesn't want to get into hardware as a hobby, and doesn't have the time to deal with it.

@||Console|| thank you very much for your help and everyone else also.
I am looking at the parts and names. I would also love it if i could find someone exprienced in this matter to assemble the system. I would love to sit and help and learn in this process. I still have a lot of questions and this exprience will help me learn about it.
I did learn some stuff in the research part but im still behind. I gotta keep up.

Just remember it isn't hard at all when I started there wasn't even as close to this much info around and we all still did fine .
The difference between block choices isn't going to be that much and being in Canada we don't always have all the options that the USA has . When I started I picked up the only WB rad and pump my shop had . They all still work just fine on today's tech . (sure there might be better but Im not spending anther 500$ for 2 deg better temps)
