EVGA Hybrid 980 Ti + Corsair Air 240

[Garrzilla]

I am wondering where to put the radiator from the EVGA Hybrid 980 Ti. I have the H100i already installed to the front as intake, and I'd prefer to route it to the back: http://imgur.com/QqFLxTd

 

But as you know, the EVGA Hybrid is all-in-one cooler, so is it possible to remove the radiator so I can fit the cables through the holes in the case?

you can but you can't. lol. its AIO. so if you detach the rad you have to re-fill it. and idk its its threaded attached or just some cheap plastic thingy. no idea. i think u'll have to mod your case lol.

So just mount it to the top instead?

I would mount the GPU rad on the CPU RAD in front. in push-pull.

ive seen something similar like this before. temps were only 3-4 degree on gpu so was no big deal.

GPU is too long to fit 2 fans & 2 rads. Top not enough room for 1 fan + 1 rad. Bottom wont work either...

Should I keep the card or return it for something else?

There is room for this though: http://imgur.com/apK23dr

Or is 1 fan for 2 rads too much?

No. And I realized I can't screw in the rad onto the 240mm one, there are no holes. I'm going to buy a non-watercooled card at a local store and ship this one back to Amazon. It was my fault for not looking into this more. Thanks for all your help

hmm before you do that

can i know how you configured the fan of your case? because the top seems to be able to fit radiators too

I only have a 240mm rad on the front in a pull config. The top only fits 1 fan, not 1 fan + 1 rad, the mobo is in the way: http://imgur.com/oEPY1Bj

yea true lol

tbh if i were you i'd mount the radiator like http://imgur.com/apK23dr with other methods than screws

and observe the temps, if they're below 80 and the cpu temps are fine then go ahead and use it

 

because air cooled 980 ti normally go above 80 celcius anyway

Thanks for looking into it a bit more. I decided to ship it back to Amazon and get the reference one. I don't mind waiting another day for it. I also changed my 240mm rad to push/pull rather than just pull. Thanks again
