Hey all

I did have a loop in my old rig cooling to CPU but in my new rig I have a closed loop H100 for the CPU but I wandered if I could adapt my old loop to cool two Graphic Cards?

I want 2 universal GPU blocks so I can use them on new Graphics cards when I get them (I know some may say this is pointless or not worth the hassle.)

EK 1/2" Hose fitting £1.99 4 £7.96
XSPC X2O 750 Dual 5.25” Bay Reservoir Pump £34.99 1 £34.99
Thermochill PA120.2 120mm Double Radiator £46.99 1 £46.99
Masterkleer 7/16" Tubing - 1m £1.49 2 £2.98
Thermochill G3/8" BSP to 1/2" Barb £1.99 2 £3.98
XSPC X2O Delta (Socket A,754,939,AM2, 478 and LGA 775) CPU Water Block £21.99 1 £21.99
XSPC Tubing Clip For 1/2" and 7/16" Hose £0.49 6 £2.94
Feser One UV Reactive Coolant 1 Litre (Acid Green) £6.99 1 £6.99

Could anyone help by telling me what I would need to change, i.e. fittings, tubing etc?

EDIT
I should add that I want quick release fittings on the GPU blocks so I can take them off easily and replace them etc.

Thanks for the help.

Looking at that shopping list I assume it's from when you bought the parts for the old rig, that should be fine with a couple of GPU's but if you could tell us what GPU's your getting that would help ;)

You will of course need some more 7/16" tubing if you don't have any left and some quick release fittings but you already know that, you could connect up the GPU's wiht an SLi bridge, then use G1/4" QDC's on each end of the bridge and put the spare 1/2" fittings from the CPU block on the end, that should do what you want.
 
nice one mate thank you :)

at the moment i'm thinking I will only cool one card in my sig (the main one that gets hot) but in the future I intend to go to one card only (hopefully a 770/780).

So i'm gonna save for the loop and even then in the future I could get a proper full card block he he.
