I have 2 Asus GeForce GTX 760 OC 2GB coming within this week and I was looking into adding some type of GPU cooling solution rather than using stock. I will be drilling holes on the sides(if no space inside) to put the Corsair H100i where best fit and least notably placed. If it is possible to add to the cards. I have been looking at water blocks and the reservoir setup method but I already ordered a Corsair H100i for the CPU and thought I might add two more on to the cards unless if anyone thinks I can use that method and will work for just the twp GPUs. The case I'm using is the Fractal Design Define R4/W Window (Black Pearl). Looking at these pictures of the exact card I ordered, it looks like all I have to do is take the screws off from the back and take the heat sink off and can just add the Corsair H100i.

Here are the pictures that are linked from this website:

Just one H100 will make your room sound like ya live next to an airport and no, the H100 will not mount on the GPU..... I'd wait a few days / cupla weeks for the Poseidon to be released. I kinda expected it to be released with the Maximus VI Formula whicxh is in reviewers hands now and I expect newegg after the weekend.

To my knowledge no one is making water blocks for non reference 760's ....and then ya need hoses, fittings, pump, radiator etc. and a place to mount all that stuff.....and once ya have that, the H100 becomes redundant.

Aftermarket air coolers exist but remember...

Aftermarket air coolers exist but remember, only EVGA SC series uses the stock / reference PCB and VRM, (Asus, Gigabyte, MSI all use beefed up PCBs/VRMS) and Im thinking most will be designed to fit only the reference board as Asus already has designed a superior cooler.

Well I already ordered the 2 cards that are on their way and arriving this Monday from Newegg/Amazon, So do you think what Asus already have on these cards good as they are or should I attempt and set up water cooling and re-sell the H100i that's also coming this Monday from Newegg. I was really thinking of waiting and seeing how the setup goes and see how much the temps get under load, apparently based on this review: http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/geforce_gtx_760_sli_review,1.html it get's to around 80C under load, but that's a different card casing than what I have bought and these are not even water cooled, all I need is to make sure these don't over heat past 80ish
 
The Asus DCII cooling system is great ..... but again, Asus new air / water cooled components are dropping shortly and they are damned perty .... and have all water blocks pre-installed. I know little about performance as yet as only found one review so far

Again, MoBo should be on shelves within a week, GFX cards not so sure

I might just wait out until my next build to get the new parts for my build as of right now, I'm just going to keep this for the time being.
