GPU + CPU Watercooling
GPU + CPU Watercooling
Hi All,
I've been using a custom loop for the CPU for some time now. I just acquired a water block for my Zotac GTX 1080ti AMP Extreme and I'm wondering if it would still work with adding a GPU.

I'm considering whether an additional RAD or a more efficient pump would be necessary, but if it can manage it, I'd rather avoid spending extra money on upgrades.
Also the fin density plays an equally important role in a radiator. You have options like thin, thick, high airflow, and sub-800 rpm models. I believe one of my 360mm units is rated for 600 watts. It handled two 1080Ti units without issues. The radiator became very hot after several weeks of continuous use at home, but that's expected from these products.
Someone sells a Zotac extreme waterblock. I’m not familiar with that XSPC pump, but I’m sure my D5 can handle 480 Rad+CPU+GPU+GPU without issues. Comparing a X2O 750 12V Pump to a D5 might be useful. The RAD seems limited to around 250 watts, so the GPU alone would likely overheat it.
XSPC doesn’t do well; I’d probably replace it completely. I used a similar setup from XSPC when I first began. A few years later, I switched to a Hardware Labs Rad + D5 pump and an Alphacool rez. Not only did the appearance improve, but temperatures dropped significantly.
It's interesting you asked that. I initially searched extensively but found nothing. I was close to giving up until someone shared the same idea and suggested checking AliExpress. It seems to be a custom-made item from an underground market company in China, though I thought it might be worth trying since it had positive reviews. I'm aware it's just solid metal, but it looked intriguing.

If you own a single 480 Rad, it's roughly equivalent to a dual 240, which matches what I have, so it could work—please correct if I'm mistaken.
The pump is standard, just the usual model sold with the kit. People who bought XSPC kits in the past recommended upgrading to a D5. Could you replace the XSPC pump with a D5 using the same reservoir?
BYKSKI is becoming more common in the USA.
The reservoir seems to have a distinct housing design, making swaps impossible.
