I'm using 2 470s so the fans like to rev up to 95% ish.
Using the akasa eclipse 62 case and using too many HDDs to remove the cage, is there anyway of setting up a water loop with just the graphics cards? If so, any chance you would spec it for me on OCUK so if it looks achievable by my noob self I can just order it without worry of wrong size fittings?

The option for adding the CPU to the loop would be good too ;)
I have 2 spare 5.25" bays for res & pump, or pump could sit on the base?

One 120.1 will not cope with 470 in sli, i say keep it all external, put a 120.3 radiator stand and all a decent thick 120.3 radiator.

I dont mind a rad outside the case too much, I know the akasa is small when water cooling is fitted.
I am however tempted to get the 800D...

I notice the Fractal Design R2 has WC holes on the top & rear edge.
Would a 120.2 rad fit in the top? & would that give sufficient cooling for both 470s?
