i5-4690k + GTX 980 TI

[Rex-Hyperfly]

Hi there i'm completely new to watercooling so ireally need some help.

Actually i want to watercool the I5 4690k and the GTX 980ti

I found that this:

https://www.nzxt.com/product/detail/138-kraken-g10-gpu-bracket.html

Was compatible with the 980 TI and with the H110 from corsair and i wanted to know how to make that work?

Like cooling both CPU:GPU with H110 + G10 if that's possible what would i have to buy for that?

 

If that's not a good option i want to build a custom CPU:GPU loop for 400$ max in a Enthoo Luxe

Thanx for reading

I would just do a custom loop.

You would need to buy two Corsair AIOs to use the HG10 / NZXT G10 with the card, and we all already know it sucks at cooling VRM. Just go custom loop or buy a Swiftech H220X and expand it to include a GPU Block from EK / Bitspower / XSPC etc.

Those AIO's for GPU's are pretty dodgy. Especially the VRM's and VRAM are not properly cooled. You're better off just putting a fullcover block on that 980TI.

 

You can build a customloop, but maybe something like a H220X + fullcoverblock might work. I believe you can expand that AIO solution.

 

lol @ThatCoolBlueKidd you beat me by a minute +)

I'd suggest going with the corsair GPU bracket, though it seems there is not one for the 980ti atm..

 

I dont know if the nzxt bracket will be compatible with the corsair cooler

 

I'd say either do a custom loop or leave it as just the cpu being watercooled for now.

 

Another thing you could do is get one of the expandable open loop coolers and a waterblock for your gpu, slap the waterblock on and watercool your cpu and gpu with that, my only question with that is if the pump could handle it.

Any block that is compatible with the TitanX  is compatible with the 980 Ti

Would you recommend me just buying this:

http://www.corsair.com/en/hydro-series-h110i-gt-280mm-extreme-performance-liquid-cpu-cooler

Do you think it would perform fine?

If not could you please do a custom loop for me? I really don't know how to do that (searching for tutorials)

That cooler is overkill for a 4690K (H110). And i'm not sure how loud the pcb fan will be of that ichill.

It's not as fancy but the EVGA 980ti hybrid is about 100 bucks more than a regular 980ti and comes with the AIO preinstalled. For an I5 i would get either a 240mm rad, a thick 140mm or a nice air cooler (you could go lower but im thinking you want performance options) Has to be said tho, if you can find a 280mm for the same price as more conservative options, go for it, just why spend so much on a cooling solution to a point you would get more performance with an I7 and a cheap cooler and spending the same amount of money, thats just my opinion.

I had good feedbacks about that ichill 980 ti on french forums.

For the cpu corsair H100I vs Kraken X41?

[Rex-Hyperfly]

But if H100I and H110i  have 5$ difference would the H110 be better?

Yes, with rads, bigger is better, but you reach a point where your OC won't improve with extra cooling unless you go with exotic solutions, It tends to be quieter than a H100i so, i guess the question is, is 5 bucks worth a quieter system?. For me is YES, i actually changed my own mind while writing this...lol, must be noted tho, stock fans are almost always loud and if you can replace them you can have better performance and noise levels.
