To drown them or not?

[opstrat]

I have a 660 ATM and another on the way.

Ek says no to full blocks so it's going to be universals.

Question is what blocks and Bridges do I need?

I have a 360 rad ATM With a Laing ddc pump 18w I think.

Would adding a hardware labs gt stealth 280 be enough?

I would have thought so about the rads

I'm hoping a thick 360 will be enough for two 670s and a i7, the 660's seem cooler imo.

Something like http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-282-EK&groupid=962&catid=1520&subcat=2329 and then some extenders on the end so you could use 90 degree connectors?

general rule of thumb is 120mm of radiator per component plus 120mm over

general rule of thumb is 120mm of radiator per component plus 120mm over

which is a rubbish rule of thumb as it takes no account of the TDP of the items you are using

a fully overclocked GTX580 will run a helluva lot hotter than a GTX660 for example

I would say that a single 360 is a bit ambitious for an i7 and 2 670's
the 670's will probably be fine with it, but the i7 might start complaining if you want a decent OC out of it

it depends what water temp and component temp you are aiming for

It's not that bad a rule of thumb, rad space is rarely the limiting factor in wc loops. Generally it's the performance of the blocks that limits you.

Anyone know the exact list of parts needed for 2 cards using the ek universal blocks and a duel bridge?

 

[pastymuncher]

Just go for the bridge edition blocks which are longer than the standard blocks and all you need to join them is the EK-FC Bridge interconnect.
