Hi, I just noticed this on scan: http://www.scan.co.uk/products/ek-f...sus-design-radeon-hd-7970-directcu-ii-series- Can you any one tell me what else is required to get this up and running and is it worth it? Cheers!
That's a good start. I have the PC, but just wondering if this is worthwhile. Can you recommend the parts at all? Cheers!
If you're starting from scratch the parts needed for a water cooling set up will cost more than the card you've linked, tbh unless you're planning to water cool the CPU as well I can't see it being worth it
I would be up for the water cooling the whole thing. I just wanted to know a rough ball park figure really.
That £200 would be based on 2nd hand pricing too. Brand new, you're looking at £250-300. CPU Block: £40 GPU Block(the one you listed): £78.82 360 Rad: £40 Pump: £55-70 Res: £15-50 Fittings: £20+ Not including fans, tubing, coolant.
It would be hard to really give a ball park figure. Let us know what case you have and what cpu you have. That will determine what rad(s) you need and what res/pump combo you can get away with.
Id say £300 - £350 to build a custom loop for gpu and cpu (including the little bits like fittings, water, tubing etc). Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 4
No it would be very hard to give an exact or accurate figure. A ballpark figure doesn't need to be within any margin, so you simply do an extremely quick figure in your head and somehow the rest of us managed it.. Jesus why is this the answer for that everyone gives when you ask for technical help. He's not going to come after your knee caps if you're wrong. (boy do I need a chill pill - one of those days.)
To be honest, I bought almost all my watercooling parts second hand. In fact the only things that are new is my tubes and fittings (and when I first started out they were second hand too). Think it cost me about £120.
Well I have a Coolermaster CM690 II White Case. A 965 with a Antec KUHLER H2O 620 on it. It keeps the temps nice and low. Normally below 35c with a 3.9 clock. I was just wondering about water cooling the graphics card as a project really. Never done one and thought perhaps try it.
