Frosty's 780Ti X79 Overhaul

Oh it is, they're monster cards :) 150fps average at 1440P in BF4 enough for you? :)

They're great on air, but since getting back into the PC scene 'properly' as it were I can't wait to stick them under water. Also means with this loop 5Ghz is within my reach on the 4960.
 
Am I right in thinking if I wanted to run a shut off valve as a drain line from my bottom Rad fitting I could use these two?

Koolance QDC (Extreme Flow) No-Spill, Male for 13mm x 19mm (1/2in x 3/4in)

Koolance QDC (High Flow) Shutoff Nozzle Female, Threaded G 1/4


One is high flow the other extreme, does that mean they're incompatible?

Cheers guys. Kaap, yeah I thought whilst it's all apart and I'm in no rush, might as well take up all available room to save any doubts later...Been there too many times :)

Had a spare half hour so put the front rad in and did some more tubing. Taking the Elysium apart over Christmas, the main stalling point is doing the GPUs as want to make sure I don't get pulled away half way through.

That's the down side to doing 3 I suppose lol. Plus my screw driver set has gone missing...

Due to the holidays I've been preoccupied (sounds a bit backward). So have had time to think of what else is worth adding.

Added a temperature sensor for the bottom T-joint where the drain valve is, and adding a 100ml res to the front rad and pump/bay res.

Now the reason for this was originally because I didn't have a gender changer to install a 90 degree fitting between the front rad and the bay res to avoid kinks, but seeing as the space is there and this is a large loop it could do with more res space :D. Also bought some rotary EK fittings for the CPU block.

Can anyone see complications with the res being at this point in the loop? E.g pumping it out of the top of the res into the intake on the bay res? Quite a strain on a loop this size possibly? Even for 2 D5s.
 
Will do thanks :). On phone at the moment but basically what I'm concerned about is the flow from bottom 240 to front 240 to the 100ml res and then UP through the top of it into the bay/pump res. If someone pictures what I'm talking about before I get on it ;)
 
You mean like in post 102 lol? :)
Unless you're saying that won't work in which case that makes me very sad :(. I hadn't fit the tube to the extension end in that photo

Haven't put it in yet fella. See the front rad, it'll be going from that to the bay res so where the bend is in the tubing. Thanks, hopefully it should be fine.
 
Not much to report until the res and final bits arrive :)

Just had a call from someone who bought one of my Titans. EK block leaked from the seal on the actual block, and one of his VRMs cooked. Doesn't inspire me with confidence on my first GPU w/c attempt lol :D.

For the EK bridge and the o-rings, can anyone recommend a silicon grease, or will any do?

Once it's on, I want it to stay on, and apparently the o-rings are notoriously fiddly.
