GPU Watercooling Advice

[colingohl]

Hey everyone, I came here to ask for help (I don't have many tech savy friends..) 

 

I'm thinking about water cooling my GPUs with x2 Corsair H60s.

 

The problem is, the top mount for a rad is taken up by my H100i all in one (connected to my processor)

and after that there's a 240mm rad mount in the front of my case (covered by my 3.5 inch drive bays, SSD cage,

and HDD cage), and a rear 120mm fan mount. 

 

My plans were to mount a rad in the back and connect that to my 770 and than have a rad in the front

and connect that to my other 770.

I want to have a good pressure so there's minimal dust build up but with this build I'd have almost

all fans pushing and none pulling..

any advice for a confused soul?

Front Fan: Pulling

H100i Fan's: Pushing

Rear Fan: Pushing

Sandwich the two H60's in the back.

 

Buy an extra fan and run three static pressure fans on low RPM (5v) -> fanlRadlFanlRadlFan You can stack with either two or three fans if you want, the effect on the temperatures will be negligible. In reality one good fan could probably do it since H60's are thin and relatively low FPI. 

 

you'll want to buy flat heads, hex, or nuts of the same thread instead, because screwing in a phillips head at an angle will be difficult if not impossible. 

 

It would be best to have the H100i on 5v pressure fans as well, with an air flow optimized front intake, because that thing has a lot of work to do. Something like a Noctua NFS12. Low noise, cheap, high pressure, and low flow fans would be best for the radiators, something like Hyperboreas.

What do you mean by sandwich them? like stack them as Rad/Fan/Rad/Fan (as you stated about static pressure fans)? Idk if I'd have enough room for that because of my H100i waterblock. Probably doesn't help that I'm a complete noob when it comes to fans and static pressure.

Yes, but I'd learn towards <--(exhaust)--- Rad/Fan/Rad/Fan <-----

there should be room, the h100i isn't thick and the 350D looks like the exhaust fan is positioned low enough to pull it off. 

 

yep you've got plenty of room for activities

Do you have any other suggestions as far as rad placement? I feel like it'd be a messy run and make my build look weird with a bunch of tubing running all over the place (I suppose it doesn't matter if it works, but still lol).

Also it doesn't have to be H60's. I'm just trying to avoid doing a whole custom loop because of funds and being able to monitor through link software

doesn't seem to be anywhere else to put it

 

the tubing will be fine, it won't look that bad. 

 

use an h55, h50, or h60. Whatever is cheapest as long as it fits. And don't bother with Corsair link, it's not that great if it even works properly.

Okay I'll definitly try it when I get the money . Thanks, helping.

you plan on having 3 AIOs in your case, its gonna look messy.  but who cares how it looks.  the only reason to spend that extra money on cooling is for silence, if its performance your after, go dual 780s on air for slightly more $$$ and much better performance.

Only choice is one front and one rear.
