I’m currently gathering parts for a custom loop. I have 2 780tis in SLI and it’s not worth the cost of getting full cover blocks for them nor the AIO brackets. Even the Arctic coolers at around £35 each just don’t seem worth it on these cards. (Although it *almost* seems worthwhile given GPU prices at the moment meaning I won’t be upgrading for a long time).
I plan on having a 360mm rad in the front of the case as intake, and another in the top of the case as exhaust. That won’t be a huge amount of airflow through the case when the fans are on low and there won’t be much air travelling in between the cards even when they’re on full tilt. With the heatsinks on the VRAM chips and VRMs - would they be OK as they are or should I mount a fan across the front of the cards to move some air over them?
