Question about temps.

[taylor.sangrey]

With this build: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/taylor.sangrey/saved/93MzK8 (Please look at the build because I want to make sure it will all fit in the damn case, haha.

 

I currently have an Asus GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB STRIX. However, with that set up (including the existing CPU AIO cooler and case), I am wondering if I can pull off an AIO GPU cooler. I really don't want my PC running super hot due to the fact that my room is small. So I was wondering if that would keep the PC more quiet and cooler, if I were to get a watercooled GPU.

 

All replies appreciated. I was looking at one of the following:

 

GPU 1: http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-Cooling-Graphics-06G-P4-1996-KR/dp/B00Z0UX8TA/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1457309887&sr=8-2&keywords=gtx+980+ti+sea+hawk

GPU 2: http://www.amazon.com/MSI-GTX-980TI-SEA-HAWK/dp/B015YE979Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1457310928&sr=8-1&keywords=gtx+980+ti+sea+hawk

 

Also, will either of those cards perform similar to the Asus card?

i've only used the evga one so i'd go for the Hybrid

That doesn't answer my questions.

Performance wise they run cooler/better

though overclocking potential solely depends on the silicone lottery, the watercooled ones will preform quieter and cooler

I am really concerned with it fitting though if you look at my build I already have an AIO CPU cooler...

put the h110i on the front and the aio card on the back exhaust

Would PC part picker tell me if it wouldn't work?

it works, the define s is made for watercooling

 

(not my picture using it for refrence)

 

you can put the cpu cooler on the front and the aio's radiator on the top or back

What case are you putting this in we can get a better idea of your setup and how to configure it, as for the hybrid GPU's you cannot pull of the AIO's they are what cool the GPU die.

Well I just saw this video by Linus.... GPU water cool Vs Air cooled doesn't change room temp... That was the point of this question. Hence why I don't care anymore. A mod can delete this post unless somebody has something else to say.

My case is the Define S by fractal design by the way.

yeah you'll have more than enough room in that case, you can easily fit it in the front of the case. As for temps they do increase room temps if crossflow through the room itself isn't very good.

So I can fit the AIO CPU cooler and the AIO GPU cooler?

Yes quite easily, say with a rad in the top and the GPU AIO at the front.

How do you feel about this card?

The windforce cards aren't bad and have a pretty beefy aircooler, similarly with the EVGA ACX coolers.

Refresh  I linked the wrong one. I meant to link the waterforce one.

Most of the AIO hybrid cards are fairly similarly matched the waterforce one does come with quite a substantially higher baseclock from the factory which also accounts for the heftier pricepoint.

Well I was only going to pay 60 dollars less for my Asus Geforce 980 Ti Strix... Is it worth the switch?

Well if your wanting to really push overclocks the hybrid cards do cool better than say the Asus strix.

I want to possibly overclock. I won't be unless I need to though. I probably will though.
