Updating Watercooling System!
- Thread starter Xereo
- Start date
Now a few months down the line...
Well decided to splash a bit more cash and upgrade my system with extra cooling. So pc has been stripped, new PSU, MOre GPu's & ram + more Rads and fans. Will keep you up to date with the progress. Taking it slow and ordering as i am going along, as i want this to look as good as i can get it

as you can see the gpu's don't link up with the EK water blocks which kind of sucks that i can't use the 3way bridge Between the R9 295x2 and the 2x R9 290x's. Can anyone suggest the best way to connect these Gpu's? as i have tried bending a piece of acrylic but its just too small to get the right bend.

This is looking more like a build log than not.
Getting the top GPU connected, it looks too close to get a straight fitting on each end and then flexi hose (as opposed to hardline) but a number of possibilities come to mind:
1. Swap the in/out on the top GPU - does that make any difference to the angle?
2. a 90° fitting on each GPU and then link the two with a coupler (G1/4 male to male). If necessary you can use a G1/4 extender to lift one of them. Or 90°, 90°, coupler.
3. 45° fitting on each GPU and then straight between them - either piped or coupler.
4. Two triple rotary snakes and link them. Expensive and may be ugly but it'd give you the flexibility to move it around to take up the slack.
5. 90° out of each GPU, hardline fitting and then a U shape to link them.
You'd have to see if any of those fit.
