Alright I just picked up a 3rd GTX 680. I want to throw it in my water cooling loop. My questions are....
Right now I am using 1x360mm rad and 1x 240mm rad. Will this be enough surface area?
If not would an extra 140mm rad mounted on the back be enough extra?
Second question.... Right now my setup is like this.... Pump/CPU/360mmrad/GPU/GPU/240mmrad/Res. If my cooling is sufficient for adding a 3rd card. Would the pump (D5 variable speed) still be able to push my loop with the 3rd video card block?
Right now I get great temps.... I have yet to see my GPU's go above 43c @ full load (Overclocked to almost 1300Mhz on a 85 degree day) and I have yet to see my CPU go above 70c @ 4.5ghz full load "i7 3770k" (same situation on a 85 degree day)
Or would I be better off maybe keeping the same rads and just buying a second pump and splitting the loops? In which case would a single 360mm rad be enough for 3 video cards?
I have never WC 3 cards before so I am new to this many cards in water cooling.
Thanks guys.
