for few days-weeks yes, just waiting for water blocks to come in stock.

cause i want to get MAX out of them 2 so water is needed 100%

also 90+ C all the time would kill me the heat ><

Do you need to rads for cpu and gpus?
And also do you need to have 2 pumps?
Just wondered as I was thinking about water cooling my rig but never used WC before

I think we need a 290X overclocking thread with discussions banned around temps vs nvidia. The results are getting lost in the noise in this thread.

It's called the Graphics Card section

There are plenty of benchmark threads to post your scores in.

Idealy, you would want a minimum of 2x240 rads and 1 pump. No need for 2 pumps, even with Xfire. The D5 has a lot of pushing power.

If you intend on going water cooling, ask in the water cooling section, as there is some very knowledgeable people there and will best advise on your budget and needs.
