Upgrade to Current Loop

[Gamble2004]

Hi All,

Looking to improve on the current setup I have at the moment and add in the graphics cards to the loop.

What I have at the moment, is a simple CPU loop.

PUMP > CPU > 360 RAD > Tube RES

I'm looking to add 2 7970s into the loop and have a couple of questions, that hopefully someone will be able to answer.

Will the 360 RAD be enough, once the 2 7970s are added?
Will adding another reservoir, maybe into a bay help with cooling?

What components, do I need to add the 7970s into the loop? Any recommendations?

Would I be better off adding a second loop?

I appreciate there are a few questions, any help would be great!

Thanks guys!

- How thick is the 360 rad? if not an 80mm monsta then I'd say no.
- adding another res will not help with cooling (if you add LOADS it would increase the time it takes to reach your maximum temperature though)
- full cover waterblocks with a multi-gpu fitting or bridge
OR
Core only blocks with a multi-gpu fitting or bridge + heatsinks for vram and mosfets
-No

Thanks - Will take a look at whats available. Definitely want to go for the full cover blocks. Any real differences between Nickel/Acetal/Plexi - Or purely cosmetic?
Was looking at the EK-FC7970 CSQ.

Will look to add another 360/240 rad.

Thanks again.

Doesn't matter which blocks.

I would add a 360 if you have room.
