Need some help!

Hi guys,

I've got an EVGA 2GB GeForce GTX 680 NVIDIA Graphics Card and during games such as Battlefield, it's running at about 70-80c. I'm thinking of incorporating water-cooling, and I was wondering what the cheapest kit would be to just cool the graphics card.

My Specs:
Corsair 800d Case
3930k
16gb Ram
Asus Rampage IV
EVGA GTX 680
1200PSU

This is what i'd recommend

It might be pricy, but it has quality components and has room for expansion when you want to upgrade

(the 360 should bolt straight into the top of the 800d)

If you are looking at cooling your entire rig you'd also need a cpu block and some fans. But otherwise some nice choices.

I'd skip the masterkleer tubing and go for XSPC, also go for 1/2" internal diameter tubing and fittings. And you only need 8 fittings but you might want to buy a couple of 45° fittings just in case.

So as an alternative route, in case you don't want to use a bayres.
