Posted November 9, 2014 Author Something like this is perfect. http://www.gelidsolutions.com/products/index.php?lid=1&cid=13&id=108 Designed to go straight on a 290x card. But should i get g10 on both of my cards or does putting g10 on a single card would do? I am trying to prevent thermal throttling (which i think would happen if i were to xfire 2 290x... With a single 290x i am getting 45 degrees C idle and 75 under load....)

Posted November 11, 2014 Hmmm but should i go g10 on both cards or just one?... Well, you could go both G10 but that involves two rads/pumps or you could just go custom loop Link to comment https://linustechtips.com/topic/247357-kraken-g10/#findComment-3411066 Share on other sites More sharing options...
