Wan to cool 2 EVGA GTX 670 ftw's Only

Hi,
I am new to water cooling and I would like to water cool 2 Evga 670 ftw's in sli setup because I hear the stock fan isnt the best but they have great customer service and warranty. I dont want to water cool anything else. Is this possible?

I already found the water blocks, EK Gtx 680 Nickel. Now I was wondering what else I need? I know I need tubing , a radiator and I hear compression fittings are best but I dont know how many and what works well together. I googled a bit but couldn't find info on cooling only 2 gpu's.

This is a new build and I dont have any of the parts yet except I did order the gpu blocks but I asked them to cancel the order because I found cheaper shipping elsewhere, not sure if they will but great customer service so far.

Here is the case I picked
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811352020

the power supply is a corsair pro silver 850w modular

Planning on having 5 hard drives

I think I listed everything that will take space

Thanks in advance, I appreciate the help!

It is not possible unless you mod your case, or mount the radiator externally. The problem is your top two fan slots do not support the 15mm screw space that radiators require.

If I were in your situation I would look at getting an after market air cooler. They have better performance than the stock cooler, a lot quieter than the stock cooler, and don't cost as much at the water cooling loop would. That is probably your best bet.

Are you looking for a case that has enough room to water cool that doesn't look like some kid owns it? That's a nice case, but as stated, it won't do WC

I am not set on that case I listed and yes a more mature case would be nice (I dont like any cases that are distracting, like flshing leds and such). I just watched a nice video and I have a better understanding of cooling. I just dont know what brands to go with, how many fittings would be needed for 2 cards and which cases have enough space.

It looks like I hook up the reservoir to the pump, to the radiator , to the GPU and here i am lost do I go to my other GPU or back to the reservoir and have another setup for the other GPU?

I HIGHLY recommend you get copper, instead of nickel water blocks from ek. If you can afford it, I would highly recommend the coolermaster cosmos v2, and Blackice gtx 360 rad for video cards.

So I hear you are a fan of bat $hit crazy cases huh? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811517020

I would actually take a look at the phantom black case. It is still a little bit racy, but I think the all black color definitely helps to mature the look a bit.

If you wanted to spend a bit more, I would say that the switch 810 all black case looks rather nice. It has a nice big window, and I think if you go with some white LEDs and black tubing, you could make the thing look really sleek.

Speaking of which, I understand you want the PC to look mature, but I think it would be a sin to make it bland. For instance I have a corsair 800D with white LEDs and black fans with white LEDs as well. The only true color I have in the case comes from my mobo which has only a few highlights of red. When I get everything setup, I intend to play off the brushed black metal look to keep the PC looking nice, but not too colorful. I think that if you are going to put the time into water cooling, you could at least show off a little bit of your labor.

I will look in to the water blocks if I can and that case looks awesome but a little expensive. I might go wit that Blackice, thinking of waiting to do this when I start to overclock and just get the pc up first and make sure all the parts work before I WC it then order the parts.

Damn that's a big case or maybe the girl in the video is very tiny. That Azza looks really nice and is a good price plus I like the red, it's sleek. I just didn't want it to feels like I was in a rave when my pc is on. I work on photos and color correction so my only worry about led's was that I work in a light controlled room and I wouldn't want the led's to interfere. I read this Azza has a switch to turn the led's off and that is perfect.


Thanks for the suggestions ForNever and Tjj226 Angel
