Sup folks, I'm new here. I've enjoyed Linus's videos and thought I'd come check this place out. I've been at this for 10+ years now and I kinda miss the days of jumpers, soldering resistors, Master/Slave and MSCDEX.exe :P

I have been looking for OC performance on 980 Ti's in water and really haven't found much... I ordered water blocks for my system and they just got here!

I'll be installing them over the weekend and look forward to overclocking them to see how they perform.

I only have a single triple rad (I'll admit to being too lazy to do more) and currently only have the CPU (5930) on it. We'll see how it turns out. I have two weak fans on there currently. I do have 4X SanAce fans, but lack the 38mm screws to mount them. I bought a set off Amazon but they got lost...

Last winter I had 3X R9 290Xs lite coin mining at full bore with this triple rad and a giant Lasko blower sucking air through it for cooling.. The system was crap for gaming (Crossfire is a terrible solution), but it was certainly fun and paid for itself.

I'm NOT up-to-date on the latest trends (which is why I'm here), so comments and tips are welcome.

I'll be honest, I don't even know where to start with hardline tubing and some of these crazy setups I see on nvidia's websites. It sits in a corner so... It's a functional loop with very little bling.

I'm currently running just distilled since I knew I'd be breaking the loop to install the video cards. I'll dye it at that point. My experimented with Redline Water Wetter in my last loop and it seemed to work pretty well!

I'm running 2X 2713HM monitors (2560X1440) but The plan is to use those for "productivity", and get a 4K display for gaming when I find a good one hopefully with GSync.

Constructive criticism is always welcome!
