After some advice
Case - Carbide 540
GPUs - 2 x 290s in crossfire
I have been experiencing v high temps on the top card. My current setup is that I have my CPU under water using the Eisberg (lovely little device) with a 240 and a 360. This is overkill but I always intended to add the GPUs.
I am not sure the Eisberg is strong enough tbh and I would like a more powerful pump/res setup. The Eisberg is also hard to use and fill
So, I have these items so far
YOUR BASKET
1 x EK Water Blocks EK-DDC 3.2 PWM X-RES 100 £96.95
2 x EK Water Blocks EK-FC R9-290X - Nickel £85.99 (£171.98)
1 x Watercool Heatkiller CPU Rev3.0 1366 / 2011 - Black Nickel £60.95
1 x EK-FC Bridge DUAL Serial £13.98
4 x XSPC 7/16" ID [16/11mm] High Flex Hose - Clear [1m Length] £2.99 (£11.96)
Total : £365.41 (includes shipping : £8.00).
Thoughts or questions:
- Is there a better CPU block?
- Have I mismatched block materials?
- Is the CF multicard wc connector right? Is there a better one?
- How is it best to position and secure the pump at the rear?
- What would be your recommendation for loop order? I was thinking
PUMP/RES->360->lower GPU->upper GPU->CPU->Top 240->PUMP/RES
Huge thanks!
