using 1/2 3/4 all the way around

i currently have 2 670ftw's on msi-z77-g55 inside a corsair 500r case, i will most likely end up buying a new case AND mobo before all things are said and done, any input/advice on the gpu loop would be amazing. this will be my first time blocking gpus, though i have done afew cpu loops

Parts are good choice, you're ready to go but i want to ask you a question, why don't you wc cpu, because most people start wc with their cpu and than gpu.

 

[awesomehandle31]

I plan on adding the CPU block in just a little bit later, as i currently have an h80 on her... but my h80 is now pushing ~80c+ under load which means its days are clearly numbered...

is this current setup enough to add on a cpu block as well? or would that require another rad another pump and a split res?

the current price ticket w/ shipping on everything above is 700$ top of the line EK cpu block would push it to 850, extra pump 950, bigger res over 1,000 =\

If you're not heavily oc your gpu than that rad in push/pull is enough.
Also i would recommend you shop other place too if you want to save some $
Frozen cpu are a good site but their price are a bit high, check out ebay/ amazon for better price on those parts.
I don't know what case you have but if you run your rad in push/pull than you may need this

I have found that having the rad outside of your case is better than inside of your case, easier tubing management.

OP, could you ask a mod to move this to the watercooling forum? Much better response there.

^^ +1 conum

 

[awesomehandle31]

how do i ask mod to move?!

frozencpu just ****ed me hard... some how the cart i was working on added every single item that had ever been in it, instead of the 6 items that was the finished product... total WAS 800$ after checkout 1,700... I really hope they fix things like this, that restore shopping cart feature is 100% broken

emails sent, and calling right when they open monday... i dont even know how that charge cleared the account i used

Are the 670ftw have refernce 680 pcb? If I remember correctly but I am not sure so...
If they are I like the Heat Killers or Aquacomputers Then again if you like the EK blocks looks then go with that, I personally do not like this iteration of them.

On the res, you may consider the Malestrom you can get it with or without pumps, it may save you some cash versus the other, but it's all up to you.

Also, the tubing you chose, really looks great. I personally have 15' waiting to go in. It really is red, not the orange ish looking stuff of past red tubing. Great choice IMO.


Oh almost forgot!!

I would ditch the Inigo Xtreme, get some PK-1 or something, you only get one shot at applying that stuff the way I understand it.

 

[awesomehandle31]

you are copy and pasting things i never actually intended on paying... that is a copy and paste of the bill they emailed me after i confirmed my 800$ order of 7 items it turned into that.... and that compound comes w/ the block so /shrug
