Water cooled GPU help?

[FartNationGG]

Hi guys,

I`m new at the whole water-cooling thing.

I`m thinking of buying a pair of water cooled 980`s

So I was thinking how dafuq do I connect them???

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-098-TL   This is the GPU`s I`m buying.

Help me whit what connector must i connect them??? 

I have seen such connectors like: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-344-EK&groupid=962&catid=1529&subcat=2267

BUT can someone of you explain how do i connect them and what fittings must I use????

 

TY in advance.

 

 

Sorry for my grammar:D

that waterblock should just be a standard fitting it is ek so it would be a g1/4 fitting

[LiamApex]

and you connect them by screwing on fittings ps if you do not know how to setup a watercooling loop and Choose the fittings tubing etc you need to do some more research and maby start with just doing the cpu becuase going straight into a gpu is risky business also it maybe more expensive but buying the card and then a waterblock seperatly would get you experience and if you fry the card you could put the stock cooler back on and RMA it

In that case you connect them with tubes.

I have done the research but just by looking at the damm connector i don`t get how ot screw it on the GPU`s????

And the price is not that big for buying a full set.It is like 20-30 pounds and i preff not to deal with things like warranty and stuff

I have 2 of the same waterblocks (but for the 780) I simply have mine connected with normal fittings and clear tubes. I prefer this over the normal "SLI fittings" which you can buy. Although my motherboard has a 60mm spacing between pci-e 16x slots.

 

I'm not familiar with the fitting you linked to though. It looks like you have to remove the G1/4" mounting ports already on the waterblock and replace it with this block, but I don't recall seeing screws on my waterblock to allow the removal of the fitting holes though.

 

A key thing to note is the spacing of your cards on your motherboard. That mounting block lists a 40mm requirement.

No problem.

 

Here's an old photo of my setup. (I've changed my runs since then). At a glance actually it looks like the fitting mounts can be removed. I hadn't noticed it, but there are hex screws which you can see in that photo which would (presumably) allow you to remove them. I would still opt for the setup in the photo though. As I would prefer the tubes over a solid block.
