ROG MACHine

[thelude]

Nice rig- I use the exact same case and was running 4 cards under water at one point, so I can give you my thoughts.

 

3 GTX480's and one 680 put off quite a bit of heat, so I did a lot of experimenting with different configurations(serial vs parallel on blocks and pumps, dual independent loops, etc). With fans, it was very clear that the best temps were with all rads acting as intakes, with high positive case pressure exhausting out of the graphics card slots and the vent holes above the mobo i/o bracket in back.

 

The rad config I'm using is almost the same as yours, only a 140mm bolted to the bottom intake fan instead of a dual rad.

I'm gonna have to try that. might have my top and bottom as intake and my rear 140 as exhaust. Thanks for the advice

Hows this running so far? im going to be doing the exact same thing with my h320 just different gpu's. Im not to worried since everything seems to be low flow restriction these days but always worth double checking

Running perfect. all my temps are good. Maybe because I have 3 rads. Let me know how it goes.

Well my parts showed up a few days earlier then expected, sadly one of the gpu blocks is on back order though but i built the loop anyway. It gave me a pretty good idea of what this little pump can handle as well as the temps i get out of the amount of rad i can fit into my case. running the pump just above half its max with the cpu and 1 of 2 gpu's under water and im seeing a max of about 40ish degrees on the gpu and about 45ish on the cpu. i would say it turned out pretty good so far, going to fit one more radiator in once i can order the second gpu block.

How was filling the loop and bleeding the air? It took me a little while to do until I had my computer up and running,. That'w when I had control of my pump through the header, and it made bleeding the air much easier.

it was a pain to get started but once it was filled enough bleeding was pretty painless, just tilt the computer here and there and i was good pretty, i ended up barrowing my dads pwm fan controller and using a spare power supply i had laying around the house to cycle the pump
