Where to start?.... Well, like a week ago I decided to move from 2xgtx 970 G1s to a couple of EVGA gtx 980tis sc+ and failed miserably. One of the fans on a card wasnt working properly, they were very loud... well long story short: temperatures were through the roof. I had to remove the backplate of the bottom card and even then it was reaching 92C (which I believe is the max allowed temp) and throttling badly. After troubleshooting issues for more than 24h I had to send the cards back.
So doing some reading I found out that managing a gtx 980 ti temp is no easy task, let alone 2 of them. So I was eyeballing a water cooling solution. Making a loop is out of the question since I dont have the experience and I live in a country where you cant find parts.
So there are the cards in question: 2xEVGA gtx 980 ti hybrid. Im sure you guys know the cards, the ones that comes with a radiator and a fan. Thing is I dont know if it possible to mount those things in such a small case as the Aurora R4 and Im very afraid to pull the trigger and make a mistake.
I already have a Corsair H80i cooler installed, so I really dont know where to put the other 2 radiators.
Is it possible? will my 875w PSU be able to handle it? ( the recommended wattage for 2xgtx 980ti in sli is 850w but I dont know if the hybrid version will require more power).
Thank you very much in advance for your attention guys. Sorry for the long post.
