Liquid Art: From Mini P180 to infinity...

Hmmm not sure then, will need to see him fit on yo determine it.


All my stuff has arrived now, will start a new thread for the new build as im gonna re-route everything.
 
I can get both of the 270x's in my case no problem but the gap between them is only about 5mm and the gap between the bottom one and the top of the PSU area isnt much more, I could run them as is and it get hot an loud, or a pair of those Accelero's with the rad/fan on the front means I dont have to worrk about the gap between the two so much, yes there will be a bit of heatsoak but not as much as having that gap trying to get air into the cards..

If you fit the hybrid coolers on both cards you wont need to worry about heat soak at all. My watercooled 680 tops out at 42c running full pelt so i suspect your hybrid cooler will cool in the same manner.. Give or take a few celcius. You defo wont need to worry about the gap inbetween the cards at all.
 
Yes m8 I have but might do what you suggested tbh m8 be better than posting. Will be a couple of weeks before i get window done, just ordered fans, controller also Led Stripes shame no stock of Bitfenix 200mm black in stock boooo.

Got x2 of the Akasa Led stripes to go under mobo think the brightness might suit it under the mobo. Then if i need another for near the window will get duller silverstone one.

Went with the Corsair AF Led fans in the end for the front of the case.

No worries chap, its not like I actually neeeeed to put both 270x's in my main rig, when I did a bit of testing both managed to run for a few hours mining before I decided the temps were a bit OTT and built up a board on a box rig to stick the other card in so know it'll work but any longer I'm not sure my 500w Antec would actually like it long term or at all with gaming as the CPU and GPU's would be getting hit rathet than just the GPU's for mining so there's more money, could spiral pretty quickly.
I could even sell both of the 270x's and stick my old GTX670 back in my main rig as thats a smidge better for games...

Guess we'll see how the Hybrid works if it gets here today..

Good stuff! Is there nowhere else selling the bitfenix 200mm? Has your components arrived yet? I finished my build last night, took 9 bloody hours!!! and still not perfect.

Tbh you could just go for full out water cooling using universal gpu water blocks like the XSPC ones. They will cool your gpu's nicely. You'll just need to remember to put some passive cooling on your VRM's and memory chips.
