So I've always wanted to get into watercooling but cost has been an issue (along with general need) but now I think I'm ready to take the plunge as I've got my first case with a window (I dont replace cases very often) but I'm a bit overwhelmed with the products and verbiage...
With that said, I'll tell you about what I want to do...I'm using a corsair h100i on my cpu, I'm pretty pleased with its performance and I'm about to add a second 280x for crossfire (sli/crossfire is also something I've wanted to play with) so I was thinking I would set up a loop just for the video cards and if I'm pleased expand the loop later for the cpu/chipset.
So can anyone give me some recommendations on parts for a loop to cool a pair of Gigabyte R9 280x in a Corsair 750d? While looking at parts I was seeing blocks but many said for reference cards (or specific brands) and I'm not sure how to verify if my cards are reference or not, so that was a holdup right there. Pump, radiator and resevoir slowed me down too because I didnt have a good idea of what was compatible or advisable to combine and well regarded....
thanks in advance!
