So I'm currently on the lookout for some products to cool down my i7 3770k (soon to be OC) & GTX 690 (i hate her 83c in full load)

The products are as followed: http://www.aquatuning.de/shopping_cart.php/bkey/ab626457dcda4e62053bc2ed57c8a462

I might be replacing the CPU wtblk with Apogee XT.
I've already got a 360 radiator, and a phobya balancer reservoir 150mm.

If anyone has something to add or object I'm open to suggestions. Also anything that would be cheaper. I'm just trying to make sure I'm doing everything right since this is my first go at it.

I'd really like for Rubix_1011 to answer as well as I've seen of his wisdom here and there.

P.S. Also, what is the best method to obtain 22c on a gtx 690? I know it's possible since I've read it on some forum, where the guy screwed the wrong screws and his gpu was going up to 90c. Some of you might know this, since gtx 690 is so popular and all that.

Are you planning on the case levitating above your desk .... 5400 rpm holy levitating and roaringly loud PC Batman !

I would run separate loops....one for GPU and one for CPU.

========================================================
Im planning a build myself .... maybe it will help. I'm thinking a 3 x 140 Rad on top for the twin GPUs and a 2 x 140 Rad on the bottom of the new Enthoo prime case ...play the vids here

Rads:
CPU - Alphacool NexXxoS UT60 Full Copper Dual 140mm Radiator 324 x 144 x 60mm w/ Gaskets
GPU - Alphacool NexXxoS UT60 Full Copper Triple 140mm Radiator 468 x144 x 60mm w/ Gaskets

WBs:
MoBo - Onboard Asus Maximus VI Formula
GPUs - Onboard Asus Poseidon GTX 770 x 2...

Ah sorry yes, I've also got a phobya pump, the nickel one.
Yes, same loop. Might I need 6 typhoons @ 5400rpm in push+pull instead of 3?
You misspelled Raystorm, but i get it, looks a lot like apogee.

Do they even sell the 800D? I recently upgraded my 800D to a 900D. Much more room to work with and it offers a better cooling solution.

Also, a 360 rad won't be enough IMO to cool both CPU and GPU (especially OCed) to your required temps. 22C is a huge ask IMO. I would go with a minimum 2 x 360 or combination thereof.

As mentioned, do you have pumps? Also, plan your loop on paper in a logical manner. It helps when assembling.

Lastly, make sure you put in a drainage valve or QDCs -Quick Disconnects (at the bottom part of the loop) for when you need to drain the loop.

Good luck.

I managed to find one and dyed it white. 900D is way too big for me. I could try 2 rads since ive got CPU+dual GPU. thanks

p.s. as for the loop, ive seen enough to know mine is going to be a simple one, rez > pump > gpu > cpu > rad top > rez.

It don't matter, ill get a fan controller, which I'm still working on btw.. Ive read so many reviews. About scythe, corsair, etc as well. Took me a whole day to realise the same thing, scythe or nothing. I got x3 1850rpm and they dont work for me. Even with the static pressure and double ball roller, they still wont chill my 690 as i would want to.

p.s. you sent a lot of stuff though, ill have to google them and think about it. thanks!

Click to expand...

Not possible unless you are running sub-ambient cooling. 22C is almost 72F, which would require you to have a delta of ambient or less than 1C (depending on actual ambient temps). I'm assuming you mean load temps, not idle, as this is the primary goal of anyone watercooling...so, in theory, while it's possible to have a delta that *could* achieve this, your GPU temps being reported will still be higher as they report off the IHS temp sensor of the GPU, not the temperature of the cooling solution.

No sir, I meant 22c idle and 33c-35c full load.
What are the ambient temps for a powerful card in general and what makes them crash/burn/adios?
I'm asking this cause I've heard a lot of stories and read even more.

Non-watercooled flagship cards typically idle in the 45-50C range, load in the 70-80C range, thermal shutdown in the 100C+ range.

So, going back to my previous post, you'd have to have an ambient of 22C or lower and have a delta that maintains your idle temps in that range. Load temps of 33-35C, again, depends on your loop delta and ambient temps.

My gear usually idles in the mid 30's in summer, high 20s/low 30's in winter. Load is usually 45ish in summer and 40-42 in winter. If I push to 100% CPU + 2 GPU loads, it can get into the mid to upper 50's quite easily. (temp readouts, not water temps)

I see, mine is at 32-33 idle and full load at 69. I understand the principles of delta, but may I ask what are your specs? Push/pull by any chance?
