Hi everyone,
Can someone tell me if it is possible to modify my h100i, by modifications i mean, if i buy a block for my GTX 680 can i made any change so that the h100i goes to the video card too? Sorry for my bad english.
Thank you
 
Trying to not sound like a complete jerk though honestly this probably comes under: "If you have to ask then probably no."

That said-
It probably isn't impossible, however it would be more work than gain compared to watercooling kits or the Swiftech H220. The h100 has a bit of a weak pump and not a lot of radiator space for two high end components.

Edit: Maybe put a closed loop cooler on your gpu. The cost of that and a bracket is close to the price of a waterblock for your gpu anyway.
 
the 00i doesnt have the cooling capacity to cope with that gpu alone - let alone the gpu and your cpu!
 
And if i put a h80 or something just for the gpu? Is it possible? What do you recomend me? I want to stay with the h100i anyway because i buy it 2 weeks ago.
 
The H100i has a weak pump and a weak radiator. It cannot handle a CPU and a GPU. Can you do it? Yes. Is it recommended? No.

You will need to keep the H100i on your CPU, and get another AIO like the H80 for your GPU.
 
And with the H80 how can i connect it to a block (that i have not buy yet) for my video card?
Sorry for so many questions i'm starting to learn.
Thank you
 
I can't believe the misinformation in here.

There was a PNY GTX580 (Which puts off more heat) That had both the CPU and the GPU on the same closed loop water cooler with a single 120mm rad.

Here's the OEM version of it:

And it outperforms an Noctua NH-D14

The H100i has more surface area.

So yes, I'd expect you could cut the hose on the H100i, splice in a filled GPU block, and it would cool pretty well. Just make sure not to let any air into the system. Perhaps add the block while you have the hoses submerged in water.
 
Well if i can keep my h100i for both cpu and gpu that is great. but hou do i do it? with the connection of everything.

h100i seems overkill for a 680gtx.

I use a kuhler 620 on mine, I hit 43c temps with a mild overclock in bf3

The Noctua fans have a maximum speed of 1300 RPM, while the PNY fans are most likely 2500 RPM, the same speed as the fans that come with the H-series coolers. They're in completely different leagues in terms of noise/performance. I don't know about you, but I would rather have the quiet NH-D14 over the noisier H100i. And when you add the GPU in there, things only get worse.

You can do it, but it will be noisy, and won't perform well. It will be significantly better to have separate AIOs for the CPU and GPU.

I dunno. Get some SP120s in push pull on that H100 and I'd bet it would cool well and still be relatively quiet. Could just take some deltas and slap'em on there too for some real rip roarin cooling.

At this point, we're both speculating though. The fact of the matter is, yes, the H100s 240mm rad will have enough cooling capacity for both a gpu and a cpu. Will it be better then quality air cooling? Probably not. It will be sufficient though.

Uh, Martin has demonstrated that the H100i pump is very weak and insufficient to cool anything beyond the CPU. For one, the pump itself is very weak, 1.14 PSI head, 0.11GPM. Second, the 29mm radiator for the H100i is aluminum, which means unless you dump tons of inhibitors into your coolant mix there will be corrosion. Third, the low head + low GPM makes bleeding the pump extremely difficult because it doesn't have enough power to push the air bubbles out of the loop. Fourth, the whole setup doesn't even have a reservoir to begin with, so it's hard to add coolant for later use.

So in short, not worth the hassle. Get a H220 instead.

Never say its impossible to cool. I bet this setup would do great, if you have the room.

It's been shown that putting multiple fans together without something to straighten out the airflow in-between does absolutely nothing. Additional fans just cause the air to spin, it doesn't add to airflow. What they did was a pure publicity stunt that is useless in actual practice.

The problem with the H100i is the pump. The cpu block is designed specifically for its very very very very very low flow... and any modern gpu block isn't.

The fact is that Martin couldn't even measure the pump's flow with his instruments, go figure how low that was.
