This looks like the most simple possible, and the description matches your exact setup, LOL. I don't have any experience with it though.

It's a reservoir/pump/radiator all in one. You'll still need fittings, tubing and some distilled water. Maybe some biocide.
Thank you!

[Edit]

I'm buying that Swiftech H140-X. Before I can do that I have a few things I want to figure out.
  • The Poseidon info says it's G1/4-inch threaded fittings. Not sure what that would mean for tube size for the Swiftech H140-X.
  • Fittings. I dunno what I'll need exactly.
  • Anything else I haven't thought of.

Well if you are doing normal tubing (not rigid) you just have to pick a tubing size and fittings that match. I believe the g1/4 is the thread size. So a g1/4 thread and pick 3/8 or 1/2 inch tubing. Get 4 of them. I'll show you some on the same site

Something like this

And just get tubing that is 3/8 inside and 1/2 outside. You might also benefit from a couple 90 degree adapters to make the tube not like to bend and crimp restricting flow.

For the price you might also be able just to get this:

http://www.swiftech.com/H140-X.aspx
In stock and cheaper than without the tubing and fittings on sale it's $85

And then unscrew the fittings from the CPU block and put them into the GPU. Might come out to be the same price (fitting and tubing) and be more simple. You'd have to check on the thread of the CPU block fittings, but all blocks I've ever used across brands are all the same. Just read the description and it's the same g1/4

Ok, so I found this. I haven't yet determined length I'll need. For the price I won't mind getting extra.

Agreed. Good sale.

My shopping list looks like this now,
[EDIT 1]

Swiftech website says,

"PAYMENT METHODS FOR ALL INTERNATIONAL ORDERS
EXCEPT CANADA:

PLEASE NOTE THAT WE CAN ONLY ACCEPT PAYPAL®

ANY OTHER PAYMENT METHOD (VISA, MASTERCARD, ETC..) WILL BE DECLINED"

... please advise

[EDIT 2]

Swiftech doesn't offer shipping to Canada on amazon.COM for the 140mm, but does on amazon.CA for $220.
I found the H220 (280mm) on newegg for $170. Seems comparatively fair for the differences.

Please advise.
There's nothing This is the only one I've found.

[EDIT 3]

Purchased!

Now for the fittings and tube.

[EDIT 4]

I dunno what fittings I need for the 980ti Poseidon.
Too many options.

They shipped it out on the 19th from their warehouse 71km away from me, heading 48km in the opposite direction.
It moved twice more, again in the opposite direction.
Then, 3 days of no movement.

Sometimes tracking is a good thing.
Sometimes it isn't.
Attempted to contact Purolator.
No reply.

Never again Newegg.
Never again Purolator.

That's terrible. Although if they have the proper shipping address, then it may be the shipping company to blame. Keep us updated when you get it. I like to hear success stories. ?

Working fine looks like. GPU temps no longer peak at 55. Steady 40-41 max.

Didn't need any extra parts. Although, the unit is resting in my case (I rest my case, your honour!) because the hoses ain't long enough.

glad to hear it's working with minimal headache. ??

I'm sure you could buy some longer tubing, but if it's working well then I wouldn't worry too much about it. It'll be more about if you have OCD or not.

Maybe just find a way to zip tie it so the fan blades don't get broken off it something. Or make a little bracket with some of cheap material you might have laying around. Or just leave it, LOL, and worry more about your gaming.
