IN THE ROW TO HAVE WATER COOLED SYSTEM

[ajayvishwakarma]

Hi
Glimpse and Smicha,
Let me introduce myself to you,
I am interior designer from INDIA and do bit 3D modelling for small projects.
I always follow the post updated by both of you.
and i really admire that, i mean u guys have lots of topic to discuss, but the most i loved is SYSTEM WATER COOLING.

MY Z87WS mobo is inspired by Smicha 87 Revolution board... Thks

Guys , Plz help me also as i am interested in water cooling my system also.
So Plz guide me with the products like CPU block, GPU block,RAD, Tubing etc..

My system and Case as mention.

Case
NZXT Beta Evo
Mobo
Asus Z87WS
Intel i74790K
Gpu
1 x Quadro580 - display
1 x Asus GTX 660- Octane
1 x Zotac GTX 780 - Octane

Corsair 1000W PSU

My Budget is around 800$

[smicha]

Thanks for kind words

Going with WC on your 3 different cards makes no sense and would be a nightmare for WC connections between them.

My best recommendation for now: sell all of your gpus and get 1xTitanX - and for now you'll benefit so much on air - this is just one card. When you get 3-4 Titans X then you'd be better off on water cooling.

PS. My mobo is even older p8p67ws

Yeah, those guys and few others are worth gold

I hope moderator of the forum can pick up the idea of starting seperate forum for hardware, builds and other stuff for configs not directly only about the GPu itself... right now it is spread over everywhere.. in this general forum, Gpu forum, off-topic forum and probably a lot of other places.

greetz,

Good luck and enjoy your WC journey

Thks Smicha for replying so fast..

Can we just water cooled both gtx and cpu with 3x Rad
as now when rendering on GPU both gpu temp is around 98 degree Cel
as of now will be not able to shift to TITAN X

My rule (which works very well in practice) for radiator units: 1.5x for every gpu/cpu. So for 2xgpus+cpu = 4 units.

Which cards do you want to WC?

GTX 780 and 680 to be WC

suggest me the WC hardware also as i am bit confused with the brand

[smicha]

- the case is way too small for WC (even for AC for many gpus air flow is not too high). What if I may suggest something the most important - start with a new case. This is something new is of great value/WC performance and costs around 200EUR

- WC 680 and 780 makes no sense - sell 680 (and 580) and get another 780 (identical), or (as I said) sell all of them and get one X (save your 800$, add money from your cards and you have budget for X)

hi, Ajay. Thanks for nice words. In a way I agree with Smicha, but..

..there is a way (not the most elegant, but..for two cards.. do-able)..
for three, hardly because cards are different & conecting them would be a nighmare & cost insane..

So for two cards it's rather simple (even without changing a case):
* two waterblocks cenected & tubes going out of the case.

Outside You take any 360 You can find with good fans + pump/res.

if it would by my money for such upgrade, I'd try to go with something integrated
Aquacomputer Airplex with D5 the main reason being - least amount of mess outside.

You can add fans, grills, stands & You get completelly operating system.

Depending on Your future plans I'd go fot at least 360 but, maybe even bigger. That would be my choise in Your situation. But Smichas route is wise too (to get bigger case) or change cards at all..

Even getting something like simple EK rad simple res & pump would work jsut slightly less effective, maybe more noisy..but I just don't like the mess..(so I'm biased in this extent).

Good luck with Your build & if You have any questions, feel free to ask.

Thks for info,
Smicha and Glimpse

Appreciate and consider your word, will go for new case first, for better air cooling first , if possible adding TITAN to my build and last will go to water cooled if something left in hand
As phantek enthoo is almost 582$ on ebay including freight charges to India, will not go for that, but how about corsair obsidian 750D which is available in our country at good price

1. Corsair Obsidian Series 750D - 206$

2. Corsair Obsidian Series 800D - 350$
http://www.corsair.com/en-in/obsidian-series-800d

Which shall i go for and will this case will able to handle required rad,res and pump for 3x GTX and CPU in future.

Future is GOOD
