I'm looking for a new graphics card and I'm wanting to go to a water setup. So I thought about buying one of the many cards that come pre-installed with a GPU block, my only question is, which one would give me the best performance/overclockablity/price etc??

Here's the 3 or 4 I have found...

Some of those prices are just crazy!! :eek: :eek: But I guess you get what you pay for... Or so they say..

Any advice on these above, would be great :) Many thanks in advance :)
 
Would it be worth putting the GPU on a separate loop to the CPU?

I was thinking of using two 120.3 rad's rather than one.. Figured it might help the cooling a bit more??
 
I've never tried water cooling yet either, so it will be an experience!! :lol: I'm just wondering whats best to do for the cooling and myself!! :lol:
 
It is a bit ott..

What's your system like with your water cooling setup? do you use it for your CPU as well? I'm interested to hear and learn if your ok with talking about it :) :D

Yes am watercooling my CPU & GPU in the same loop using a PA120.3 Rad

Did you have air cooling prior to the water setup you have there?
What temps and speed/voltages are you running with that setup? The only thing I'm worried about is getting it all looking neat and tidy!! :lol:
 
Hi Phil,

I am not bothering with two seperate loops but i am using 2 Rads. CPU - Rad1 - GPU - Rad2 - Res.

I did not want to get another pump and res for two seperate loops so got a second rad on 1 loop instead
 
I'm looking at a water setup with a 120.3 rad, but I'm unsure where I'm going to be putting it with my Stacker.. I think I got enough room for a 120.2 but not the 120.3.. We'll see what the future brings :)

Does adding another rad help with the temps much? I assume it depends on the size of the rad's more than anything??
