WC Solution for 3 x 580 and CPU

dm77uk · 22 Nov 2011 at 17:51

Hi all,

I have been looking at the RASA RX360 kit, but I have some big doubts on this coming anywhere close to being able to dissipate the heat of 3 x 580's. Would somebody be as kind to spec me a WC solution for the three cards and a CPU. one or two loops is fine. BTW I am new to WC, so any help greatly appreciated. Just as a note, this will be housed in a D800 or TJ11

2 cards on one loop and the cpu and remaining gpu on the other.
Then use 2 360 rads

This - it's a pretty sound idea. You'd need at least the rad space equivalent to a 720mm rad for decent temps imo.

The TJ11 has more rad room I believe without modding so you should be able to fit it in there fine (can fit a 480 in bottom with a 240 there as well). The 800d can fit a 480 in the roof and a 240 in the bottom , but requires some modding.

you can do it all on one loop i have

3gpu's mobo cpu all the spec in sig going through 3 rads a PA 120.4 and 240 and 120mm rads and coolls very well

Check my build log for any ideas

Yeah, this is the reason I was edging more towards the tj11 rather than the 800d.Circa 200 quid more than the 800d, but worth it imo.

Thanks, will take a look at your build.

Arguably I spent £45 on a dremel tool and some cutting disks and it allowed me to fit a 480 + a 240 rad in my 800D

Could save you £155
