Taborious Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 Hello All!, I currently have a closed liquid cooling system(corsair) for CPU and GPU. However, Im looking at the fantastic new Tower900 case and planning on going that route with custom cooling. I looked through the forums and parts but cant find answer. I've listed my current questions below, thanks in advance... 1) Video Card, R9 290X are there any cooling block for this model? Not just GPU block, but the larger blocks that would cover the video ram as well? they all seem to be for GTX 2) Contemplating Hard vs Soft tubing. Hard looks like you have to be more precise with your cuts while soft you get a little play. Am I reading too much into it? 3) I know you can do a single loop, Pump > GPU > CPU > Radiator >> but if you are running SLI/Crossfire can you still single loop it? or is it a limitation of the pump?

warreny Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 i suggest you look at EK full waterblocks i think they are the only ones that make what you are looking for just make sure to check the compatibility to match the card you have. Hard tubing/Soft tubing is personal reference Soft tubing is easier to work with. Hard tubing is okay with a little practice and the right tools but looks a lot nicer when done correctly.

Taborious Posted January 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Thanks for the feedback Warreny! Ill look at EK but need to make sure the fittings from TT fit third party. This is my first scratch build Anyone have any feedback on the 3rd question, single loop cooling via sli/crossfire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warreny Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 they are suppose to fit any fitting that is g1/4 but i have an issue with that or maybe personal error as i stripped the threads on my outlet port on the pump i just bought. As for the 3rd question you can still run it on a single loop i think the real question would be how big of a radiator/pump you need. I went with the biggest radiator my case (p3 case by thermaltake) could fit which was a 420mm radiator. pump > gpu sli > cpu > radiator.

Taborious Posted January 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Anyone, Im looking at the different pump/reserviors and some say silent and some don't. The ones that don't, do they make a lot of noise? What does "silent" get me as they are much more expensive...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
