Need to make any changes to the watercooling?

MarkJr · 10 Dec 2012 at 17:00

So, getting new rig soon, need to know if I need more stuff for the watercooling, don't go recommending motherboards or graphics cards or even monitors, just need to know if I need anything else for the watercooling.

the EK bridge is for the older style blocks, you will need a csq style bridge.

change the AS5 to MX2 as it is non conductive.

you dont need biocide as the mayhems fluid has additives already

you are going to need a damn sight more radiator capacity

Pabl0 · 10 Dec 2012 at 17:34

a single 240 rad for all of that?

your going to want to at least add a 360/ preferable ditch the 240 and get two 360/420's.

MarkJr · 10 Dec 2012 at 17:40

There is 2 240's if you can see it right..
What's an AS5? Is it the coolant?

reiyushin · 10 Dec 2012 at 18:07

Arctic Silver 5

That's a lot too cool for 2x240s!!

reiyushin · 10 Dec 2012 at 18:09

You need some OC fuel

and if you're really going with 2x240 rads then get better/thicker ones with more fans for push pull

MarkJr · 10 Dec 2012 at 18:22

Thanks for the help, can you link me to a graphics card bridge that will work with my waterblocks?

kitkat9933 · 10 Dec 2012 at 18:29

Nice build. Can I ask what you are using it for by any chance?

MarkJr · 10 Dec 2012 at 18:59

Really graphic intense editing gaming while rendering videos that sort of stuff.

This is the one you need: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-274-EK&groupid=962&catid=1529&subcat=2267

MarkJr · 10 Dec 2012 at 19:17

Doesn't that one only work on the Plexi versions of the waterblocks?

pgi947 · 10 Dec 2012 at 19:21

Works on the Acetal blocks too, I just couldn't see any Acetal Tri-Bridges listed on site unfortunately.

If you ask Rjkoneill above nicely he will tell you if Acetal triple bridges are on back order and just un-listed atm

Nickolp1974 · 10 Dec 2012 at 19:28

i'd ditch the bay res, and use a tube, stick a 420x 55/60mm in the roof, remove all bays and stick a 360 monsta in the front. you may be able to save the one below the usb bay to accommodate an optical. i'd get an external optical and stick your hdd in there.
fan controller???
and the plexi bridge should work

I think I'd rather keep it like this to be honest.

pgi947 · 10 Dec 2012 at 20:31

You will need more radiator.

A single 240 isn't going to cool an SB-E chip + 3 GPU's.

You should ideally be looking to max out the switch 810's natural capacity of 360 + 240, some nice thick RX ones at that.

MarkJr · 10 Dec 2012 at 20:48

I know, I'll get a 360 for the top and a 240 for the bottom.

liquidfire · 10 Dec 2012 at 22:22

Have a look at the sr1(hardware labs) range of rads I use them currently and they're brilliant at low rpm(I hate noise).

Beautiful build I hope to see the finished article

Wonder how much haribo you'll get with that lot

MarkJr · 11 Dec 2012 at 15:59

Haha, might not get any at all
