whyscotty - is there a build log for that system?

Starts off just the Cpu and then I add the 7970's

Sorry - epic fail - yes the 4 slot is needed. I just put the ASUS RIVE pcie config next to that and I understand now.

Thanks again

Question: do your rads exhaust air? Top and bottom?

EDIT: Thanks for the build log

On the switch build all intake apart from the top which was exhaust

Hope the build log helps

16 x 16 on the Rive is the 1st and 3rd slot(Red)

This was mine running 7970 crossfire b4 I got Titans
IMAGE SNIP

What case is that, NZXT Switch 810 by any chance?

Make the top rad exhaust for two reasons.

1. Hot air rises
2. Otherwise you will suck all sorts of crud into your case.

You'll be fine with a single loop with two gpu's and a 3930K

Also you need a pump top for that D5, either just a top or a res/top XSPC make one.

I bought one of these cases recently, with your experience do you think the rads below will fit comfortably

Top - Hardware Labs Black ICE Radiator SR1 360
Bottom - Hardware Labs Black ICE Radiator SR1 240

This looks good too XSPC RX360 120mm Radiator but was concerned it might not fit in the top and clash with the mobo. What rads did you use?

Apologies for the thread hijack

The 360 and 240 in my Switch build were 58.5mm thick

and still had a little more room to play with
