Right my graphics card keeps shutting down on me due to the high temps caused by the otherhalf always wanting the heating on full……
Plus the noise from the gtx280 is a little loud so I was thinking of water cooling my rig to bring the temps down and the noise.
I would like to cool the gpu and cu from one triple rad is this possible or do I need two rads? Also do you just link the different blocks together thus keeping them all in one loop? But wouldn’t this cause high temps on the second block?
So I was thinking of doing the following.
All with ½” tubing and g1/4 threads
EK CoolStream Radiator XT 360

outlet flow going to
XSPC Dual 750 Bay Reservoir & Pump

Flow going to some sort of reservoir with 2 outlets to split the flow
EK Multioption Reservoir X2 150

Flow 1 going to
EK Supreme LT CPU Waterblock

Flow 2 going to
EK VGA Supreme Universal Water Block

This is where im stuck…. Getting 2 flows back into rad, is there some sort of Y piece thread that I could use onto rad or do I need another sort of ek multioption before the rad but then I was thinking that would be two much for the pump???
Is there anywhere that I can save some money or a cheaper way of getting two flows looking for best cooling for pound here on my first attempt. All to fit into a cosmos s case.
