I'm going to be upgrading my computer soon to something completely unnecessary. two 9800GX2's, Intel Skulltrail, and two QX9650's. I'm adding tons of other stuff like liquid cooling as well.

It's already insanely powerful but I'm crazy and I think it needs the newest stuff.

Since I'm going to have two processors and two graphics cards, how would I go about setting up liquid cooling?

If theres a water cooling kit for this type of thing that would be great. But if not can anyone tell me every single part I would need, how many of each, and how to set it up?

I would like to use Swiftech parts if theres no certain kit.

Thanks if anyone can help me.

this is a decent kit

you would just need to get more water blocks for your parts.

probably not the BEST but its good for the price range and its a swifttech just like you wanted

Thanks

Um that looks like what I need but I don't know how it would fit on my computer.

They have made a big enough gap between the computer and the cooler itself so all your wires have room.

Edit* If you don't think it will fit (i think it will fit) here is a compact version:

That will fit right inside your case if your case is big enough.

Yeah but my fan is off to the side how could the pumps get through. Normally they would go through an expansion slot. But look at the red circle.



Ok I see your edit, um hang on a sec I think what I need is to have is this:



Instead of that radiator thats twice the size I think I need smaller one. That will fit inside my case.

Or will this not work with my overall goal of multiple cpu and graphics card waterblocks?

So I think this is what I need. (Assuming the smaller radiator wont affect anything.)

MCR120 Radiator (Is a Reservoir too)

2x Apogee Drive CPU Waterblock (Serves as the pumps)

2x MCW60 VGA Waterblock

MCW30 Chipset Waterblock


Will that work?

Well if your going to be overclocking like crazy and be running your computer 24/7 and playing games its really best to build your own. that compact kit is really only good for cooling the CPU. And the CPU your getting will be running pretty hot so the loop wont cool down anything els.

I'm gonna ask some guys at a computer customization store nearby what I should do.
I'm still pretty confused on this.

If money isn't a huge concern (and considering you springing for a $600 motherboard plus all the goodies I assume it's not) go for an Exos system by Koolance. Easy to use, 'astetically pleasing', and it works well:

As for HOW to cool dual CPU's, you COULD run water into the case, over one CPU, then over the next, then out the case for the return, but thats just putting hot water back onto another CPU. The better way to do it is run the line into the computer case, put a Y fitting and run one hose to each water block, then put another Y line on the return to join the two lines back up.

If you're going to cool anything and want a prebuilt kit the Exos works great, though I'm always a proponent of building your own.
