Tri-Sli

bobbydigital · 7 May 2009 at 10:33

Hey there, basically just here after some advice on full waterblocks for a tri sli setup on my gtx280s. I've always used universal gpu blocks and memorysinks, so un-sure of which blocks to go for also what fittings are required, wouldn't want to miss something when I finally get round to ordering these and be stuck not able to fit the blocks correctly when they arrive.

I've just been looking at the usual EK ones, for now.

Any advice would be appreciated

Used Aqua Computer blocks which are sexy as hell, tri-SLI setup and pretty sure GTX 280's as well

Yeah was looking at that myself, they do look sexy as hell but at what price?

I ain't bothered about looks to be honest, a lot of my system is ugly as sin because I go for performance first

Hey if you look in case central you will see my tri sli watercooled setup on 3 BFG 260s which are exactly the same layout. I have the danger den blocks and they are awesome my temps never go above 44 on full load so i cant complain i have them on a TFC Exchanger 360 rad. The post is recent so should be on the first couple of pages.

Cheers geordie, basically finding the blocks seems to be the hard part just now as everyplace is out of stock, what sort of connectors are they between cards? I saw some koolance ones I liked but think they only fit on koolance blocks

The ones i am using are the danger den ones and are spot on , dunno if you can make them out in my pics? You can order direct fron danger den for these blocks or there is also another site in the states which i use a lot and deliver within 6-7 working days which is good. However i cant give the link due to forum rules sorry, however they do a lot of performance pcs hint hint.

Cool mate, thanks for the input wanting to get these blocks asap, as I have a new rad/pump/res arriving tomorrow to make a start on the second loop, to actually see if it will fit in my case. Never thought I'd say this but my u2-ufo might be too small!

Wait, what?? Ugly as sin? Looks pretty clean to me, at least from the pic that I saw.

Shoot me an email tomorrow ([email protected]), provide your contact info and a time to call and we can chat about this. I'd like to help out if possible.

BTW, RZA fan or just a coincidence?

Well I'm a big RZA fan these days, but actually got branded with the name from a mate before I even knew it was anything to do with the RZA

Ok cool will do.
