Hi,
I had this posted in the Nvidia section ( i now realize that was a stupid move on my part) and was advised to get it moved here, i dont know how to move a thread, so i will just repost
my 690s are both getting very hot now that its summer (80c+ in games) so my room is being heated up to about 33c which sucks D:
i am going to watercool the 690s ONLY as i am happy with my h100 as it would be doing a perfectly good job if my cards weren't exhausting into the case causing my cpu to be around 10c hotter
so when i get my 690s watercooled with the Rad in the psu side of my case the h100 will go back to keeping my 3930k at around 30c.
As this will be my first custom loop i have no idea what to get...
i would like it to be as simple as possible with as few connections as possible (best case scenario would be a radiator with res and pump integrated in it so i only need tubing going from the card to the rad so there are as few points for it to leak as i can get.) as i am not comfortable with this.. terrible anxiety problems + no more money to replace wet 690s + low self esteem = not happy about watercooling xD
so what parts should i buy for this? if possible please list parts available in the uk.
Thank you
P.S. Res size can be 360mm for anyone who is not familiar with the M8. I would also like to keep the front of my case clean with no drive bay reservoirs, which makes an integrated pump + res in the rad even more ideal
I will be ringing Specialtech about the availability of this rad tomorrow, hopefully they will be getting more soon as i would love this : http://www.specialtech.co.uk/spshop/customer/Swiftech-MCR320-Drive-Rev3-Series-360mm-Triple-Radiator-Heat-Exchangers-with-Integrated-Pump-and-Reservoir--MCR320-DRIVE-R3-pid-14797.html
EDIT: i am now considering cooling my cpu too as if i am going to break my cards i might as well break my cpu too.
