raijitek triton advice

I want to connect gpu and was wondering what fluid I can use and what hose and connectors are needed?

is distilled water ok on its own for say 6 months and then replace every 6 months , or does it have to be anti fungal etc?

does piping Id and od have to be precise i.e 9.5mm /12.5mm so 10mm by 13mm would not fit ?

thanks in advance

With distilled water you would need an silver kill coil in the loop.

where do I get one of those ?

found it 4.50 cheap as chips

what about tubing and compression fittings for gpu block

What gpu are you adding?

truther · 14 Jul 2015 at 09:29

either a 980ti or fury or 980 . please tell me which pipe is ok for this ?

Is the Triton even capable of cooling a high end gpu as well as the cpu without adding a extra rad? Normally for a cpu and gpu you would be looking at 360mm of rads to keep acceptable temps.

I'd be looking to add a second rad if I decided to try it. My question would be is the pump up to the job?

the flow on the pump is super fast, I was thinking od push pull to counter having another rad

pastymuncher · 15 Jul 2015 at 10:35

I don't think that will be enough. In the few instances that google turned up in a search, everyone who added a gpu to this cooler also added a extra 120mm rad. When speccing a water cooling system on here we would never recommend just a 240mm rad for a cpu and gpu. It should always be a 360mm or more for what you want to cool. I think your temps will rise to a unnacceptable level with just the Triton rad.

Having looked I to the specs of the pump, I'd say it just hasn't got the capacity to move enough water once a gpu is added.
From what I've read it's flow rate is a 120l/ph. So, yes it will work, but temps just won't be anything special even if a 2nd radiator was added.

I've decided not to bother & wait until I move to a full custom loop later in the year.
