The Water Cooling Hardline Tube is running properly.
The Water Cooling Hardline Tube is running properly.
Hi Guys,
I’m reaching out to share that I’m swapping components in my water cooling setup this weekend—switching from a 980Ti to two 1080s. I’d like to post a photo so you can see the tube layout, but I’m having trouble attaching it. I’m not sure if this will actually function, but I’m curious about how to make coolant circulate between cards.
I’m thinking about whether it’s feasible for coolant to loop back from one card to another. Right now, my setup has a line going into the top right slot and exiting through the back radiator at the top left. I wanted a similar path but with the bottom right as the return to the second card and the bottom left as input from the second card to the radiator.
I’m wondering if this configuration would work. Also, are 1.360W and 1.240W enough to keep two 1080s running smoothly with decent overclocking and a 4790K OC to 4.6? I recall my single 980Ti was running around 65°C after a few hours of heavy use, so I’m a bit concerned about adding another card.
Thanks for your help!
It seems like you're comparing your parallel loop setup with others. Your description matches what you mentioned earlier. You were using a parallel GPU block on your 970 SLI, and also had inlet/outlet points on the upper GPU. Your 980Ti temperatures are high for custom loop configurations. How is your current loop setup arranged? Also, an OC'd 980Ti could draw around 275W, while two OC'd 1080s might exceed 400W power consumption and heat output.
