Should i switch to water cooling?

 

Specs:

Asus Maximus VI formula - Motherbaord

Intel i7 4770K @ 4.4GHz

1 Asus 780Ti (Refrence Card) (Planning to get 2 more for 3 way SLI within a couple of months)

1 ADATA SX900 512gb SSD (Planning to get 2 more)

1 WD Black drive 1TB (Planning to get rid of)

 Corsair H100i

13 Corsair LED fans

1 NZXT Sentry 2 Fan controller

1 LG Blu-RAY Optical Drive

32gb Corsair Vengance Memory (4x8gb)

well, from your specs I can tell, that money isn't a problem. So I would say go for it!

And what case are you using?

Just go nuts with it considering your build is worth 5 of mine.

900D

900D

nice, with that case, you're obligated to do so.

Make a build log. ^^

Haha I know what you mean D:

[Osmium]

900D

I can't think of a better case short of a caselabs that would be better for water cooling. Do it!

[mooommo]

I love my water cooling, it is a lot more quiet but it can be a hassle sometimes. If you are going to do it, do it full out and spend the money on some decent parts so that you don't have to fiddle around with crap.

I will fi i decide to make the switch.

Running three cards together with air cooling is a terrible idea, so I say go for it. Liquid cooling isn't exactly cost effective, but I think it's worth it for the aesthetic and the fact that graphics cards wont bake each other when they're sandwiched next to each other.

[nsyedhasan]

I'd say for it! Go crazy with rad and res! Get a super thick rad in push pull on top, and get a 45mm 480mm rad in the bottom.

is there a specific reason you wanna go watercooled?  if its just to do it / have a sweet system or have a quiet (for the record, any claims you hear for silent anything actually just means really quiet.  I've yet to come across any component claimed to be silent to actually be silent) system, go for it.  if you're expecting any kind of noticable performance improvement, you'll be disappointed...

 

I kinda regret it.  If I were to do it again I'd go with an AIO cpu cooler and use one of them NZXT things to attach one to my gpu.  But then again you're planning to run 3 cards, so that wouldn't work...

make sure you put a T fitting for flushing the water out. it can be very usefull.

[gliliumho]

I`ve a 900D too. I had it for like 4 months before I watercooled it and it looked so empty the whole time so you should watercool it. It`ll look much better, quieter(I was mining casually with my 7970 before WC and it was LOUD) and much lower temp.

I believe the G10 is SLI/CF compatible. I never tried any of the AIO cooler so I'm not sure how silent they are. Are they a lot quieter than custom loop?

custom loop is definitely quieter, just that before I built mine I thought that silent was actually possible.  The reason I said i'd go the AIO route if I were to do it again is cause its not that much louder and its much cheaper.  Cooling performance is also a bit worse, but the difference prolly won't be noticeable in game performance and whatever else I do with my comp.

 

My main concern about the G10 not working with SLI/CF would be fitting the rads somewhere within reach of both cards.  Since the tubes are attached you'd have only so much flexibility of where to mount the rads...  then again in a case like the 900D it may not be much of an issue.  It'd be pretty easy in my CaseLabs case also but I wouldn't have gotten it if I weren't going for a full custom loop.

[applebook]

Absolutely.

[Chrjz]

Do you need another person to say yes? I just got finished with my first loop and couldn't be happier.
