    Water cooling the GPU? Is it worth it?

    I went ahead and ordered a Corsair 750D case, so if I have to I can add a 240mm radiator if the temps get to hot for my liking. Everything I ordered was around $600, so it wasn't as bad as I thought at first. Hopefully everything will be in next week and I'll post some pics up! Thanks...

    Water cooling the GPU? Is it worth it?

    Good to know guys! thanks for the info. I'm planning on cooling a Haswell 4670K and a GTX980 on a single loop with a UT60 360mm radiator, forsee any problems? I do want to experiment with overclocking, I've never done it before but plan to play around with it some. Jake

    Water cooling the GPU? Is it worth it?

    So, I'm seeing most people are using 2 radiators on systems that are cooling a GPU and CPU, I like the look of the 1 larger radiator, but would the loop cool ok if I had a setup like: Reservoir > Pump > GPU > CPU > Radiator (3 fan 120mm) > back to the reservoir? VS Reservoir > Pump > GPU...

    Water cooling the GPU? Is it worth it?

    So far it's looking like getting the GPU WB and Backplate is doable in my original $500 budget, it'll be close though lol. Thanks for the help guys. Feel free to suggest any other parts you think I should take a look at. Jake

    Water cooling the GPU? Is it worth it?

    I was looking into that pump actually, in a pump/res configuration. I guess it's between that and the Swiftech 655? I could get a PWM D5 with the reservoir for around $140, the 655 is just a tad cheaper with an seperate reservoir. Jake

    So if I got something of this flavor http://www.frozencpu.com/products/14856/ex-rad-332/Alphacool_NexXxoS_UT60_Full_Copper_Dual_120mm_Radiator.html?tl=g30c95s160 . I would need 2 of them? I'm not sure I could fit a longer one in the HAF 932 case I have now, but that may give me an excuse to...

    Water cooling the GPU? Is it worth it?

    I'm planning to upgrade my GPU and a few other things on my current rig I built up early this year. I'm wanting to go liquid cooling on the CPU, mainly because I want the build experience and I think its cool, plus my rig wont sound like a vacuum cleaner anymore, lol. I'm looking at a single...

    Mobo fried when psu shorted out, what are the chances?

    I fried something... Help!

    Thanks, I tried that and the psu is gone as well as the freaking Mobo... It's got a little burnt spot on it at the bottom. I guess there isn't a way to check the CPU? It's a socket 1366 so it's an older one, newegg doesn't even carry those Mobos anymore, I don't want to buy a new one and the...

    I fried something... Help!

    Ok I feel like a complete fucking idiot but anyway, I was trying to troubleshoot to see if my disk drive was bad, I had it out of the case and was going to hook it up to the psu with a spare cable, well the cable I grabbed wasn't what I thought it was and it shorted the psu out. Now the system...
