Hi all,
Recently my room got quite hot plus I got some new components so my air cooling is struggling to keep my parts cool. Besides I can't stand the drone of the fans anymore! ( I have over 8 fans in my system).
However, I have zero experience in installing a water cooled system. Been doing my own installs for couple years but all those are on air. I have read some guides but none of them are comprehensive enough for me to start (perhaps I am just overly paranoid)
Anyway, here is my system:
Intel i7 920 (D0)
x2 BFG GTX295s in Quad SLi
CoolerMaster ATCS840 case (I checked and the top can be converted to take a 3 120mm fan radiator)
CoolerMaster RealPower M850 850 PSU (I might upgrade this if needed)
Can anyone perhaps help me out here by suggesting the parts necessary for water cooling my system? I have no idea when it comes to barbs and hose sizes etc... :S
Also I am worried as the two GFX cards are pretty close to each other. I am looking at the EK VGA Water Block but not sure how to hook the hoses up since the are so close together.
Thanks for any help/advice offered.
