Needing help with GPU SLI Water cooling

[AverageOtaku]

Hey Guys

 

Im getting a second Gtx 1080 and im going to put them into a water loop by themselves. I'm using a be quiet dark rock 3 still new im going to throw on top of my i7. what EK kit would be best to use? i know the water blocks im using for my 1080's but im not sure on the EK Kits because i have never done this. Im confident i can get it done and i dont mind taking my time either

 

This is kits i'd like but if you have somewhere else is better then im up for suggestions

any advice will be appreciated

 

Thanks Guys!

You could just get the individual parts needed instead of the kit since you would be adding 2 GPU blocks anyway.

Ive never done this before and i dont know what fittings to get and tube sizes? this is a whole new area. i would not know where to start.

EKWB's new configurator is pretty good, I'd suggest doing a ton of research and learning before trying to just dive into watercooling though

Keep in mind though that adding gpu to loop adds a lot of heat. Before you start you might want to try overclocking with normal cooler.

If you hit the hardcap on air then there is hardly any gains from doing this other than looks. But if you have massively overkill cooling then its worth it anyhow.

back again, would this do for the dual gpu water cooling! https://www.overclockers.co.uk/water-cooling-configurator-wc-144-tl.html#p=CRN#$;CRO#'vCRP#'VCRQ#!5CRR#'!CRS#'YCRT#!!CSa#@$CSb#@zCSc#!@CSg#:5CSh16:#CSi#:.CSj#_7

 

Im not looking to overclock all that much.sli gtx 1080 is basically for me to get an 4k ultrawide when it becomes availble

Link doesn't work, see if there's a permalink

2160 UW won't be out for ages. the GPU power it would take is... quite a lot. Watch Linus' video on 8K gaming. He uses SLI Titan XPs and it struggles to play CSGO. 4K UW wouldn't be much different for a real gaming experience on anything but the lowest of settings for anything but the highest end of the high end GPUs

I'll take a screenshot of the items when I get home from work. 

 

Yeah I've seen the video. I thought about it and I have a 3440x1440 monitor and I can get mostly 60fps and above.  I don't mind turning down settings. I cant go back to a 16:9 my experience has improved for films and gaming and I just love it. Might change the 4k ultrawide to a gsnyc high refresh rate 1440p ultrawide. That's for ways down the road tho
