Hello,

I have a PC thats pretty NEW, its got CPU cooling.

Anyways I want to upgrade the cooling so I can cool my GTX 780 ti, If this is possible? I guess this would mean re-cooling everything and starting again?

My PC Specs

Case: Corsair Graphite 600T Special Edition White
Power Supply: Corsair HX850 Gold Modular 850W
Processor: Intel Core i7 3770K
Processor Cooler: XSPC Raystorm 750 RS240 Full Watercooling System
RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600Mhz/PC12800
Motherboard: Asus Sabertooth Z77
Graphics card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 780 ti
Hard Drive: Corsair 128GB Force GS Solid State Drive
2nd Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda 1TB Hard Drive 7200rpm 32MB Cache
Sound card: Creative Sound Blaster Z
Optical Drive: Asus DRW-24B5ST 24x DVD/CD ± Re-Writer Black



I have no BIG experience with cooling, but I really want to update my PC. I was looking at the XSPC Razer Block to cool the GPU if possible but after that I am really lost as to what to do, I know the answer is to not even try this me being a "N00B" and all.

Even sending the PC out for this to happen is an option for me, I`m addicted to updating and upgrading PC`s, just always want them better changes :|

So what I really want to know is what I need to fully cool my system, I like the XSPC range as its been running fine for me

not 100% what a 750 can handle but it should be able to handle a gpu block as well since just a cpu and gpu is not a big loop.
adding the 780ti to a 240 rad along with your cpu might be a bit optimistic though without it running at a higher temp i would be looking to increase radiator space.
Just remember anybody that watercools a pc has had to start sometime building their own loop, putting a block on a gpu can be a bit scary to begin with but apart from that it's really not that bad.

Yea thats the problem, I have never done it before and I am starting off way to high.

Should really get someone who knows what they are doing, to do it proper lol.

Would also be 100 time easier to just get a new case and start again?

----Edit---

Looking at this now, and thinking of starting again with a NEW case and cooling is freaking me out, this this is just to big a job for me.


Thanks anyways

I started with the xspc 360 kit i.e. cpu cooling only - but added a gpu block to the loop.

The x20 750 and the rad cool both easily BUT as I understand it such needs improvement to both pump and rad if I wish to add a further gpu and block.

In your case I believe that the 240 rad alone will not be sufficient to cool both cpu so you would need to make an addition of a second rad - either a 120 or , to allow for further addition(s) later, you might go for a 2nd 240.

Wether you might decide to go for a more powerful pump/res is something that I wish I had done but only because I decided to add to my loop (and the x20 is too noisy for me).- Not something that I think you would need as of now.

If you do a search '600T' in the gallery thread you will find some very nice pictures of your case :)

thanks for the feed back, right now Im stuck in two minds. If I go try and add cooling I will start over i think, getting a NEW case and completely starting over.

Or

I might just update some components in this, add SLI some other things.
