Great ideas Glimps.
If I got you correctly - the visual may help.

almost =) The fans on 360 should be in pull (on top the frame) so thicker rads would be compatible fitting bellow the frame before hitting the ram or cpu cooler. (gap between rad & fans should eliminate possible noise from blades almost touching the fins). 240 Should be as thick as possible & fans mounted in push, but this time inside the case, to maximise airflow, otherwise if You would mount them outside top fan would be almost blocked reducing cooling efficiency & causing some noise..Combo should be placed nearby. The way to bridge GPU water block (parallel or ..-doesn't matter so much here =) Single D5 should be enough.

Do You see any flaws here, Smicha? =)

Overall I think, this might be the most logical route & cleanest loop in this situation, but maybe I'm missing something? =)

Would be useful to know how much space there is above the case for the 360 radiator.

Just curious how much space there would be left for pump if we place thick 240 rad inside?

based on this review from HardwareCanucks around 6cm (but again that depends on the motherboard =) would be nice to measure for sure before ordering =) -3:25 mark on the video -

removing HDD cage gives You ~140mm (judged by the mounting holes =) not much but enough.. -2:35 mark on the video-

Got it. So this solution should work.

BTW Watercooling down 9 altogether seems to pump up costs. This up4 motherboard would be a great stuff for 4xtitansZ

Thanks so much of all the effort guys, the solutions look great, will have a thorough read through and start costing things up, all makes sense so far though.

smicha - yeah totally with you on the 4xTitanZ thing, I think what we'd do is as we'll likely be getting a couple more machines early next year we'd look at that as a build option for then. We need to roll with these rigs for now.

I found interesting article about Gigabyte Announces GeForce GTX 980 WaterForce Tri-SLI.

Mark0spasic worthless overpriced piece (that's been teased for half a year) - for less You can get better custom loop =) this only interesting for those who have no knowledge in water-cooling =)

1. As Glimpse stated - plug and play, but:
2. Monstrous and ugly,
3. Only one small rad per gpu? With three fans - this must not be promising.

But this 20kg baby is worth taking a look at

I am just looking at this and my conclusion is that this gigantic monster should cool down 8 Titans Z (easily?). This is equivalent to 24x 140mm radiators
