How do i watercool my gpu
Hello, I’m planning to create a custom water loop for my rig, but I’m having trouble finding any complete tutorials. I’ve checked out resources like Linux and Twocents, yet they didn’t explain how to choose individual parts or how everything functions together. Here are some of my concerns:
I understand that when setting up water cooling for my GPU, I need a GPU block. However, from all the videos I’ve watched, installing it seems really complicated—sometimes it requires taking the GPU apart, and even then, they install it with screws that match specific holes on the Founders edition. I haven’t found any other third-party guides on installing the block, so I’m wondering if I can cool any GPU besides the Founders edition, especially since I don’t use that model or would need a specific GPU water block for my ASUS ROG Strix 2080Ti.
Next, I’m thinking about going with SliSlicer and saw people using a particular connector block instead of just pipes. That connector looks good, but it has four holes while I only have two pipes—one into the Sli and one out. Will having extra holes prevent coolant from splashing out? What should I do with the remaining holes?
Lastly, fittings. I know I need to choose ones with the right inner and outer radii, but there are so many types of fittings and I have no idea which one is best for me.
These are some of my questions, and I really appreciate any help from the community.
Setting up a GPU block is actually quite straightforward—EK provides detailed guidance with the necessary steps, including exact screw placements. Be very cautious when browsing YouTube, as anyone can upload videos without any quality checks. You'll need to remove the stock cooler from your GPU and use small hobbyist screwdrivers for the task. It isn't overly complicated if you follow the instructions carefully. Watercooling is fairly complex due to the planning involved. Intricate? Yes. Difficult? No. It's not rocket science.
EK provides a solution for connecting their blocks to link multiple cards. This applies to my setup with four GTX 670 graphics cards. It was one of the initial configurations I made using hard tubing, and currently, most of my builds rely on barbs with clamps.
