you could do cpu and 2x gpu on a 360, not a 240. go for the biggest rad your case allows for. I would not get universal blocks, although I dont know if a 465 has a dedicated block.

my case supports a 240 up top and could do a 120 out the back. the 465 does have dedicated blocks but they are around 85 bucks each. so 170 for the rx240 kit plus 170 for the 2 blocks and then an xtra pump. id be lookin at 4-500 bucks in a heart beat. im hopin this one will be a last resort lol

well, if u are gonna go rasa might as well watercool those two graphics cards. my temps on my 580 went from 95~ underload to 45! whereas my cpu went from 80 to 65 with full water, I had a H70 before.

If your thinking about hanging a rad off the back of you case then just put a rx360 back there and be done with the whole thing

If I were you go with the Rasa kit for your CPU only. Hold off on the video cards, since they are only GTX 400 series and you'll more than likely upgrade them before you upgrade the CPU since its the latest series Intel.

If you are really having a problem with them get some cheap aftermarket coolers for them for now.

If you absolutely must water cool them, you would definitely need a 360 or a 240+120.

lol not off the back... out the back, inside but blowing out for venting. im torn between wanting to do it right and being cheap lol.

after reading a couple thread about flow rate...
do you think i could get the rs240 kit a 120mm single rad and run the GPUs in parallel to remove some of the restriction from the loop? would that pump handle it?

my one other thought is to buy an h100 and another h50/kuhler 620 and take the h50/620 and put one on each GPU and the h100 on the cpu

Cheap and quality wont go together well for this... You will need a 360mm rad at least, CPU block. 2x universal GPU blocks (these work great, I have one ordered myself, just make sure you get heatsinks for the vram), and most likely 2 pumps. I don't know much about how strong the Rasa kit pumps are, but I would just try to scoop up 2 MCP 355 pumps and get a dual top for them. That would probably be the best bet, unless you think the pump in the rasa kit can keep up with all the blocks.
