water cooling attempt 2

[Pandora]

so with the help from this amazing community i was able to save all my parts after the cat fiasco. only the temp probe on cpu core 1 was damaged. i added my cpu and another rad to the loop and filled it again. wish me luck.

 

  sorry for the poor image quality my phone camera lens is scratched to hell

Good luck! Check all your fittings, and make sure you constantly monitor temps until you know the loops is perfect.

I hope it goes well c: May I point out your res is slightly tilted and what GPUs are those? (More specifically, the shrouds.. where to find?)

 the res is tilted just for the fill. i cant get the lid on it other wise. i will straighten it after. and i modded the original cooler so i can cool the vrm on these cards. im using a universal block so ya,

yup. got them so i wouldnt be forced to watercool but the cooling system on them is just the worst. my cards hit 88 degrees consistent under load and would throttle.

those GPUs look amazing

how did you manage to watercool them with the shroud on?

what waterblock did you use?

 

I'm hoping to do something similar in the future, and youve already done it

yup. also backplates dont exist for my card.

How did you manage to fit the water block inside that 970 Turbo ?

[Enderman]

yup. also backplates dont exist for my card.

Thank you

I think I'll do exactly this but with a reference card that can have a backplate

It will still be a blower so thats good in my case, and I cna paint the reference shroud white too
