GPU water cooling without additional width (780 Ti)?

[_MMM_]

Hi, 

So I have two 780 Ti in a Lian Li V355. Needless to say that the card in the first slot is thermothrottling a lot when both cards are in use. 

The problem with the V355 is that it has so little clearance on the motherboard tray that there's no way no slide the motherboard tray in if the graphics card would be any wider (e.g. because of the fitting points of a water cooler). 

 

The only possible solution I have found so far is the Corsair Hg10 N780 which seems to make it possible to route the tubing out the back or maybe between the PCIe slots. 

The Kraken G10 seems to take too much height for the cards to be mounted in adjecent PCIe slots so that won't work. 

Are there any other possible solutions to the heat problem?

It is possible to bend the downward wing on the G10 so that it doesn't take up as much room.  You could also buy the HG10 if you have a reference card.  Not reference PCB, a reference 780Ti with a Blower Fan.

 

Then there are other pure fan designs.  I want to say Accelero is one of the brands... let me check.

 

EDIT*  Yea, its called the Arctic Accelero Cooler.  There is also the Rajinintek Morpheus

Hmm, ok, thank you.  

Still the HG10 seems to be the only one fitting without modifications - too bad it's not yet available.

Unless you have a reference 780Ti, the HG10 won't work. You have to have a blower style fan on your 780Ti.

In the future Corsair might include a Blower style fan, but it has yet to be seen, and they are already a generation late.
