Hi Im on a tight budget and I want to watercool my GPU

Go to solution Solved by Oswin,

is water-cooling it really necessary? from my perspective you dont need to water-cool it just save the money for future upgrades. again this is based on my opinion

I need help I want to use my Deepcool Captain 360s as my pump and cpu block.

 

Here whtat i wanted to do. Since im on a very tight budget im planning to use my deepcool captains 360s pump for my GPU block and CPU aswell

Do you think this can power the whole thing?? Plus the 360 rads 27mm thick if im not mistaken.

 

Please see attached photos for refence. :)

 

TIA

It *should* have enough pressure and capacity for this, but you will most certainly have higher thermals overall. This was designed to handle a cpu only, but it *should* be able to do it. Keep in mind you will have to mod this a fair bit

 

 

* possible, but not garunteed

doubtful as that pump being used is just enough to supply a single waterblock loop. if another block is added, the pump will fail.

consider alternative solutions.

I don't know.  I used a single pump for 3 blocks (1 CPU and 2 GPU) and it has worked fine.  So long as the additional blocks don't somehow increase the back pressure on the pump you should be fine.

Can always go redmod style with a block on just the GPU, and some RAMsinks.

 

That's how I watercooled my 270x, mostly because I was bored and couldn't be bothered to adjust the fan curves.

 

That block was hilariously cheap on ebay, and since the entire project was because "screw it, this might not even work anyways".  I either have a heatsink or the cooler on everything that was covered by the stock cooler (Sapphire dual-X).

Hey guys just so you know. I was able to make the cpu gpu watercooling using my cpu block as pump. It water flow is cpu to gpu block going to rad going to cpu. Max temps of cpu is 40 and 47 for the gpu.

 

 

the pick is now with pump ek dcp 4.0
