err..


They are a tube that holds water. Nothing special about it. They all work slightly differently but are just as reliable as each other.

 

 

Alright, most of the websites I've looked at so far are kind of annoying, performance pcs/frozen cpu.

 

The way you go about looking at things is brand by brand, I wish I could just look at everything at once, seems like it would be easier to find things I like the most.

I found one that looks sick!

Swiftech! http://www.swiftech.com/KOMODO-NV-GTXTITAN.aspx

It has one that says TITAN and one that says GTX780

Man that looks good, I want a 780 now :)

Yeah, if they design it here in the states and possibly make 'em here, then just buy it off their website, to hell with it.

True, I really like the EK-FC Titan SE nickel+acetal.    One last question, I really want a "tube" style res, but I have no opinions/reviews to go off of, nor where to even start. I'm trying to get my list together so I can buy the parts in a month or so. If it's not to much to ask, could you point me in the right direction, or give some advice on the "tube" style reservoirs?

I know that the 780/titan can use the same waterblocks.. But almost EVERY single block that looks decent says "titan" on it somewhere. Can I just paint over it? Or is there any blocks that say 780? If so I can't find them :s

 

Or even blocks that don't say anything at all lol

Yeah i hate how so many people just say get a titan block.... ummm titan blocks have titan all over them i got a 780 ???

I'm not so sure why you have to have GTX 780 on the block.  I'd understand if the card you had was better than what was printed on the block but the Titan is a better card.  I've got a 780 and I'm using the XSPC Titan block and backplate.

He doesn't want a Titan block because he doesn't have a Titan.  he wants to rep what he actually has.

I have no idea how to go about choosing an SLI fitting for my watercooling build, I don't know what the correct slot I should buy is, or which I should even get.

 

For instance: This one, how the heck do you put it in, do you screw it in, attach a tube and screw in the other side or something? Or is it just a straight passthrough from 1 block to the next?

 http://www.frozencpu.com/products/17051/ex-tub-1486/Bitspower_Adjustable_Aqua_Link_Pipe_I_22-31mm_-_Matte_Black_BP-MBDG14AALPI.html?tl=g30c101s873

 

 

This one is a straight pass through correct?

I want black/green, and my cards will probably be in slot 1, and slot 3 of my rampage iv extreme, if anyone can help me out or link me to what I can use for slot 1 and slot 3, I'd like a tube style one like the second one I posted. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

 

 

Also, if you live near a fry's electronics, do you know if they do watercooling if I provided the parts would they install it? My parents owe me a lot of money, and are paying me some of it back, I mentioned I wanted to watercool and they said I should have a professional do it -.-

 

I've watched so many videos and guides + researched, I think it wouldn't be that difficult to do myself, plus it'd be a good step dad and step son "bonding" time if we did it together, since he's pretty good with mechanic stuff, which can kinda transfer over to PC stuff. 

 

Their main concern is that after I leak test it will leak further down the road and fry everything.

For those adapters you linked: you take your graphics cards out. Screw it in one card, screw it in the other card. Hold them together and put it in your system. Just make sure your waterblocks are compatible. I think you'd have problems with the EK csq blocks. An fc-bridge might work for those bit with different lengths. Otherwise they make their own sli bridges for that.

You could also use bitspower crystal link together with their multi link adapters. (rigid acrylic)

 yeah this one on the 780 form is going in my loop when i get the moneys

 

I very neat look to this card over ek in my opinion

I would recommend that you just get the Hydro copper one, it's basically the same one but it's cheaper :)

 

The block looks insanely nice and is being used on the hydro copper version :)

I'm looking at water cooling the setup in my sig, with 2 480 64mm thick rads, would I be able to passively cool it with the fans off when my comp is idle/ displays are asleep but comp isn't asleep?

If you use automatic fan control you could have them spinning slowly. Not fully off though. You need some airflow in your case for all the passively cooled components.

You pretty much to have them be slowly spinning instead of stopping for proper cooling.

If you had an air cooler and really good airflow in your case, it might be a different story.

Alright, at idle I can spin my noctuas at 500-ish RPM with my h100i and thats a very small rad compared to the 64mm thick 480 not to mention 2 of em

 

then again the gpu's aren't hooked up yet so thats another bit of electricity to get rid of

By Passively cooled components I mean stuff like VRM. They need some airflow near them otherwise they will get hot.

Oh, I'd still have like 3 intake fans in front probably, so I guess I wouldn't be able to turn all the fans off
