Im looking to hopefully upgrade my rig in my sig from a 240 rad cpu only to a CPU + 2gfx (looking at the OC labs r9 290x) basically a fully setup lol.

I would have in total a 360 (roof) + 480 (front lower) + 240 (rear lower) radiator setup in my 900d would this be enough radiator space.

also would the d5 and EK pump top I have now be enough to power this or would I have to buy another?

Yep, Enough rads and enough pump

One thing that concerns me also is, I would like to get a solid water cooling bridge to link the cards as im told this helps make the set up more rigid ( less card droop) with my mother board and using these as a reference

which bridge would suite my needs?

You need the appropriate EK FC (not CSQ) terminal according to however many slots there are between your cards.

according to mobo manul I have rampage IV extreme and the x16 slots are 1 and 4 so would that mean I need a 4 slot bridge? (love your monsta build btw petey)

(You'll need a blanking plate for the middle slot though)

I didn't do a build log as I kind of eyeballed it as I went, you'd be suprised with acrylic tubing it's quite fun stuff to work with.

I'm in the process of rebuilding the whole thing at the moment, will get a log posted

In that build there's:

2 x Black Ice SR-1 (480's)
1 x Black Ice SR-1 (240)
1 x Alphacool ST30 (120)

As of today it's in this state (started off as a bit of a spring clean)

scotsdragon · 20 Jun 2014 at 19:37

my fan controller would stop a second 480 I think and I want to use the other two bays with bay adaptors for my hard drives get building and give me some ideas lol
